I think, I am just saying goodbye to xpdf after probably 20 years. I can
not even recall when I started using xpdf. I am now mupdf guy thanks
to Stuart and the gang!!!

I have tested the latest xpdf on 4.5 stable. I can reproduce the same
crash with the newest version. I am installing current at this very 
moment on a machine which will be used for testing purposes. I would
be surprised that if xpdf behaves differently on current.

Point taken. I will be testing TeXLive with your patches. I use TeXLive
no less than 3-4 hours every day.

This is very interesting because I can reproduce the bag with the 
latest version compiled on 4.5 stable. Do you remember last month
your conversation with Matt when he was complaining about the crash
on the similar document? I just could not reproduce it on 4.4/amd64
stable running bsd.mp kernel.
