[Image-SIG] Broken pipe converting eps to png using PIL

Hi.. here is an update regarding my eps to png problem. I am running XP... and discovered that my AFPL Ghostscript executable is entitled gswin32 rather than gs. I edited the PIL file EpsImagePlugin.py file (see below) but still have the same problem. Probably my thinking was incorrect.. since converting from .jpg to .png via the PIL (file.open then save) works fine. Perhaps there is a separate Ghostview within Python 2.6,... but I searched for gs.exe in my Python installation directory and did not find anything. I'm still puzzled

  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\PIL\EpsImagePlugin.py", line 72, in Ghostscript
    C:\Progra~1\gs\gs8.53\bin\gswin32.write(s)
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

  Hi.. all of the following code executes interactively except the last line. Converting a .jpg file to .png works fine. I'm using the PIL version for Python 2.6. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lance
