Probably. (I would say `probably not', except that Sebastian's on
holiday and so wouldn't be able to defend himself:-)

In that case most likely the Postscript is right.

This could be a problem in the PostScript interpreter
but most likely it is a problem with your print spooler not
understanding DSC comments (or the DSC comments in the original EPS file
being wrong, both of which are rather common, unfortunately)

Try using dvips -K  that will zap the comments from included files, or
even dvips -N which stops dvips putting in any comments at all.

sounds like -K is what you want.

No. A comment is a comment and not seen by the interpreter.
It sounds like your print spooler is not reading the nested structure
right and deciding that your whole job is to finish at the point the
included graphic finishes, and so effectively truncating the file at
that point.
