eps Portrait to pdf now rotated since gs6.5 --- why?

this question has probably been answered but I haven't found a solution in the archives: The older ghostscript gs5.50 (debian,stable) deals well with R-plots: epstopdf yields pdfs with the same orientation as the eps-file. But, since gs6.5 (or earlier) the dimension of the plot is interpreted: if x-width exceeds y-width even a Portrait-eps is rotated to Landscape. A possible solution is to adjust the Orientation-Flag at eps-generation in R.
Are you following the advice in ?postscript and elsewhere? That is to produce portrait plots, and I have never seen a problem converting with gs (currently 7.03). However, R has long had a pdf device, so if you want pdf, why not generate it in R?
