I saw this as well when previewing FrameMaker postscript files using ralpage. 
The fix I applied was a simple hack - increase the size of all dictionaries by
one element by changing MakeDictBody.  This solved the problem.

  static Type MakeDictBody (size) int size;
   {
          Type dict;
          int i;
          struct dict_entry *hash;

          dict = (struct dict_struct *) Malloc ((unsigned) sizeof (struct dict_st!
+         size++;
          dict->dict_size = size;
