Whenever the document size is not an integer number of pts there are
roundoff errors in the PS/PDF export code which introduces visual gaps. I
am working at 300 dpi so there is almost no chance that I'm just going to
get lucky and have something be an integer multiple of pts.

I solved the problem by manually searching and replacing all occurrences of
the rounded-off document size with the correct floating point value.

Example file 1: Black rectangle on document where the size is 72.25 pts
square

Example file 2: postscript output obtained by saving as a ps file. Zoom in
and notice white gap at bottom of document.

Example file 3: manually corrected postscript for comparison with file 2.
