      open(OUT,"|$pipe") or error "Cannot open Ghostscript for piped input";
    ...
          my $pos = tell(OUT)+length($_);

Thanks for the report.  I hope epstopdf will be improved in this regard
soon.  For some reason there have been several reports about this exact
issue recently.

Best,
Karl
