I used to have this same setup (except it was a 386-33), and know what
you mean.  The solution I found (and you probably aren't going to like
this) was to upgrade to 1.1.5 - even the ghostscript output appeared
to scream on through.

So, I guess, if you can hold on until you go to 2.0, you won't
have the problem any longer.
