That was the problem. I now use:
    gs -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 \
       -q \
       -dNOPAUSE \
       -dBATCH \
       -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
       -sstdout=%stderr \
       -sOutputFile=test.pdf \
       -c .setpdfwrite \
       -f test.ps

The script test.ps is example 7.7 from Thinking in Postscript. After
solving a bug, that works. For closing the file fd is used instead of
datafile. I'll notify glenn@rightbrain.com about it.
