The most likely culprit is that the scripts called by faxrcvd.sh, namely
tiff2ps or ps2pdf, have been updated or corrupted and this is causing your
problem.

Basically hylafax does not of course do its own conversions from tiff, but
uses system installed executables.  If these are hosed, your pdfs are
hosed.

See if with the same files, you have the same problem with tiff2ps and
then ps2pdf done manually.
