Usually the only reason to get an error (-1 return value) from ps_peek_tag()
is due to the file being closed.  Usually the only reasons for the file
to be closed are either you closed it yourself, or an error caused your
PostScript process to die and its connection to be closed.

Since you are getting a continuous stream of error messages on your console,
you may not be seeing a PostScript error message go by at high speed.  Try
putting an exit() after the error message so that you don't scroll the PS
error off the console (or using a console with a scrollbar, or redirecting
the stderr output of the server to a file so that you don't lose a record
of the errors).
