A possibility to avoid this problem could be to drop support for -pp
and use dviselect instead to do the page selection work. I do not know
how standard dviselect is, though.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of hardcoded stuff in dvips/xdvi
support. It would be nice to get rid of it, but I am not sure how to
do it.
