[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

When ebnf-production-name-p is nil, ebnf-eps-buffer should generate a 
diagram without the production name.

Instead, it generates an invalid file; evince hangs when trying to open 
it.

I believe the approporiate fix is to modfiy the BOP function in the 
postscript file to drop the prodcution name when it is blank.

The attached dribble file (started with emacs -Q), demonstrates:
1. Loading ebnf2ps
2. Writing a grammar rule.
3. Running ebnf-eps-buffer to generate ebnf--sequence.eps; this file is 
valid.
4. Setting ebnf-production-name-p to nil.
5. Running ebnf-eps-buffer again; now ebnf--sequence.eps is invalid.
6. Modifying ebnf2ps.el as described above.
7. Reloading ebfn2ps.el.
8. Running ebnf-eps-buffer yet again; now ebnf--sequence.eps is valid, 
and correctly omits the production name from the diagram.

I've also tested this on GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ 
Version 2.24.10) on Debian stable.
Kind Regards,
Mike Gauland
