[ REQ 5595]: Bug-report

When I try to make a PS Snapshot of a scene containing a simple sphere, like

SPHERE
1
0 0 0

I get a file foo.ps containing the following postscript code:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2
%%Title: PSSnapshot
%%Creator: pssnap.c
%%CreationDate: Mon Oct 16 22:04:52 1995

currentdict /edgecolor known not { /edgecolor {0 0 0 setrgbcolor} def } if
/drawpoly { setrgbcolor newpath moveto count 4 ge {
   count 2 idiv { lineto } repeat closepath
        gsave fill grestore edgecolor stroke  }
  { count 2 eq {lineto} {0 0 rlineto} ifelse stroke }
 ifelse
} def 
/NaN { 0 } def

1 setlinecap
newpath -1.0 -1.0 moveto
2.0 0 rlineto 0 2.0 rlineto 2.0 neg 0 rlineto
closepath clip newpath
showpage

I just don't know more than a few things about postscript, but to me this
code seems pretty poor in describing a sphere.

I'd be gratefull if someone could tell me how to produce the correct
postscript code (I'm using the precompiled version of geomview 1.5 for Linux)!

Thanks in advance
