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.
