In my case, both cases work just fine, but I have to specify gv -
instead of just gv.
My gv only reads from standard in if I specify gv -
I use
o gv-3.5.8 - http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gv/index.html
I also tried with
o ghostview-1.5 - ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/ghostview/
It works the same as gv.
