I use texlive7 (from the cd) with OSX10.1.5

I reprodure the problem (exactly).

Here is what i find

altpdflatex --keep-psfile yoursample.tex

produces au ps file who shows the same problem : it is a dvips problem, not
a ps2pdf problem (right ?)

if I try

latex yoursample.tex
dvips yoursample.dvi
ps2pdf yoursample.ps

i get a pdffile that is perfect.

So the problem is probably a dvips options problem in altpdflatex.

Hope this help.
