Comment (by diochnos):

 Just to add a small related comment, which may give an additional hint.

 There appears to be a similar issue with dvipdf: it generates a pdf file,
 but the resulting pdf document is empty (one empty white page). This
 behavior started after upgrading to the latest Xcode version (8.3.32 /
 around April 19, or earlier). For example, you can try `dvipdf Bode_.dvi`
 with the file provided above.

 Actually I have subscribed to this thread when my real issue is the dvipdf
 command.
