We encounter similar problem.  For us, this is a mystery.  A perfectly OK 
PS file prints fine one time but generates a dictfull the other time.  
Our theory is that due to our EOT problem with our QMS PS 800II, the
dictionary was left behind by the previous job.  Someone in our company
will hook up a line monitor to see if the problem of losing the EOT is in 
the printer or in the unix spooler.
