[pstricks] Problem with compiling beamer document containing pstricks code

[Norberto Moreno Quibén]

Dear Herbert:

I have the same problem with beamer, although I use a MacTex system. I 
heavily rely on pstricks on my beamer presentations, and after the last 
update of pstricks, beamer presentations  with pstricks code do not 
compile. The error that keeps repeating is the following (cambio.tex is 
the name of the file):
./cambio.tex:45: Argument of \@firstofone has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                 \par
l.45 \begin{document}

Runaway argument?
./cambio.tex:45: Paragraph ended before \@firstofone was complete.
<to be read again>
                    \par
l.45 \begin{document}

./cambio.tex:45: Undefined control sequence.
\Call at AtVeryEndDocument ...cumentHook \@undefined
                                                   \global \let 
\Call at AtVeryE...
l.45 \begin{document}

./cambio.tex:45: Argument of \@firstofone has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                 \par
l.45 \begin{document}

Runaway argument?

I am attaching a copy of the log in case it could be of any use.

Best
Norberto
