Basically that is saying that there is 'stuff' on the operand stack 
after running the page, and there shouldn't be. It may be related to the 
clipping problem, I haven't investigated, but it seems to be benign.

Sounds like you may forgotten or mis-spelled the -dFIXEDMEDIA and/or -
dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS= -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS= parameters. The code doesn't 
do any scaling.

I've mailed it to your address, along with a copy of the output I get 
from your sample and the command line:

gswin32c -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sFile=\temp\BMB170c_2011_04_21_LECTURE.pdf -
dSubPagesX=2 -dSubPagesY=2 -dFIXEDMEDIA -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=288.36 -
dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=378.36 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=\temp\out.pdf 
\temp\pdf_slice.ps

Obviously that's a Windows invocation so you will need to change the 
path names and so on (well, you would need to anyway ;-) But the sizes 
shuold be OK.
