Welcome to the wonderful world of N+1 slightly different versions
and forks of xpdf (and poppler) ;-)

I don't have patches for xpdf. If you want to test the latest xpdf,
just try the -current port (it should build cleanly even on 4.5).

But I've patches for texlife and kdegraphics that need testing:

http://openbsd.dead-parrot.de/print_texlive_base.diff
http://openbsd.dead-parrot.de/x11_kde_graphics3.diff

Note that they don't contain Miod's patch to SplashXPath.cc, because
texlive just doesn't contain the splash stuff, and kdegraphics
contains a different fix (obviously taken from poppler).

I tried the -current port without Miod's diff, and even the OPENBSD_4_5
version on amd64 and i386, and it didn't crash. This seems to be
one of those nice bugs that are difficult to reproduce.
