There is actually a minor bug in GNU gv, but there is another one in the 
MacPorts gv package: "/opt/local/share/gv/safe-gs-workdir" is not 
created at install time.

Because of the missing "/opt/local/share/gv/safe-gs-workdir" a temporary 
directory is used, and handling this temporary directory has a minor bug 
(but normally the above directory should be present, so this bug is 
really minor!).

Anyway, the attached patch should fix the minor bug in GNU gv.
