Today's ghostscript.x86_64 0:8.70-21.el6_8.1 update causes evince to refuse to display any postscript file. Running evince from a terminal session, I see the errors:
invalidaccess -7 invalidaccess -7 invalidaccess -7
** (evince:1252): WARNING **: Error rendering thumbnail
Downgrading to ghostscript.x86_64 0:8.70-21.el6 corrects the problem.
Anyone else seeing this?

Yes. I'm seeing it too. CentOS 6.8 with all updates applied.
Yes, it looks like evince is not working for .ps files on my system running fully up to date CentOS 6.8. Three years ago, a .pdf version of this file was created and it still displays as it should using evince.

Thanks. I didn't want to do that without seeing if it was "just me."

Other Distros (e.g. SUSE) had the same problem.
In most cases it was caused by a "fix" in the file:
{usr/share/ghostscript_version}/Init/gs_init.ps
in the "/.locksafe {" segment, a ".forceput" was misplaced.
If you compare this file between the two ghostscript versions, it should become visible.
