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.
