I have created a minimal example which reproduces the problem on my machine. It seems that this has nothing to do with eps images itself. The example does not contain any images. It just uses the cc document class (computational complexity) and the subcaption environment. The file opens without problems in xdvi.

The DVI is output from latex. Very annoying as evince-thumbnailer is triggered automatically in the background every time the DVI file changes. This is a regression as it was working fine just two days ago with 14.04 before the update.
