Test input file

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9.0.6pre) Gecko/2008121820 Camino/2.0b1 (like Firefox/3.0.6pre)

When converting certain PDF files, the gs process invoked by pstoedit will use 100% CPU, causing pstoedit to wait forever. This is a known problem in pstoedit 3.44; it has been fixed upstream in v3.45.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ pstoedit test.pdf test.svg
Actual Results:  
pstoedit does not terminate

Expected Results:  
pstoedit should terminate, producing test.svg
