IM 6.3.4-10+ does not read EPS3 files created using it

convert logo: eps3:logo.eps
or
convert logo: -compress LZW eps3:logo.eps

and then
imdisplay logo.eps

or, for example
convert logo.eps logo.bmp

gives me a blank picture. File logo.eps at that is correct, it contains the logo (this can be checked using other apps to read EPS3). File logo.bmp is literally blank, all the pixels have the same color.

The earliest version in which I noticed the problem: 6.3.4-10.
The latest version, which I have worked correctly in this sense: 6.3.2-0.
Upd: Q16-windows-dll version type both.

We're using ImageMagick 6.4.5-5, the current release, and it can read the EPS3 files it creates.

I tried IM 6.4.5-5, still no luck. The problem occurs on 3 PCs with WinXP SP2 and SP1, Ghostscript versions 8.15 and 8.63.

I tried these commands on my Mac OSX Tiger with IM 6.4.5-5 Q16 and all works fine. Using Ghostscript 8.61

I am no expert on these matters, but have you checked your delegates.xml file to see that ep3 is properly defined and pointing to the correct location of ghostscript. Might you have multiple ghostscripts installed.

File delegates.xml is byte-identical to the one in the IM Windows Binary Release.

No, just one.
