the eps that cause problem

When converting my thesis in ps format to pdf using 9.51,

gswin64c -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true -sOutputFile=thesis.pdf thesis.ps 

I encountered the following error message:

when i switch to 9.50, error disappeared.

When preparing the minimal work example, I located the problem to a eps file that i attached here. here is how to reproduce the problem:
