.pbm file image render - [vhold] scanline-wiggles?

I am trying to hack a program to read a pbm, pgm or ppm file and display the image on the postscript output device using an operator image. Just test the input stream P4(binary portable (1 bit) bitmap), but my output is all creepy.

I am sure that the problem is that my calculation of the byte width of the string and the expected addition:

/buf width
    depth mul
    8 div ceiling cvi
    string def
(bufsize: )print buf length =
/pad
    buf length 8 mul
    width sub def
(pad: )print pad =

But that seems right when I find it. For this 215-bit bitmap, I get 27 bytes per line.

Edit: removing the "pad" -chop helps. Perhaps I need to add an additional add-on?

The problem is shown in the output:
