Geomview does just need a newline to terminate each face description in
an OFF file.  If you write

(geometry PYRA1 OFF 4 4 6
0.577350 0.000000 0.000000
-0.288675 0.000000 0.500000
-0.288675 0.000000 -0.500000
0.000000 2.000000 0.000000
3 0 1 3
3 1 2 3
3 2 3 3
3 0 1 2
)

then it works.  This could be considered a bug, but at least it's
easy to work around.

Also, to avoid future trouble, it's safest to enclose in { braces }
any geometric data which is embedded within GCL commands, as in:

(geometry PYRA1 { OFF 4 4 6
0.577350 0.000000 0.000000
-0.288675 0.000000 0.500000
-0.288675 0.000000 -0.500000
0.000000 2.000000 0.000000
3 0 1 3
3 1 2 3
3 2 3 3
3 0 1 2
})

Some contexts require the braces, others can live without them, but it's
best to be safe and use them when you're not sure.  The OFF object still
needs its trailing newline regardless of braces, though.
