Page 7 11kB minimal from 'pdftk burst Creusage*.pdf'

The following PDF reliably causes xpdf and Evince to crash/hang:

  http://www.gramme.be/unite9/pmwiki/uploads/PrGC0708/Creusage_-_Tunnel_sous_la_Manche.pdf

Even when the file is split up into separate pages using 'pdftk burst', all pages still cause the crash, including the smallest one at 11kB; the crash is likely related to the loading of one of the embedded fonts.

Ideally even if Poppler can't handle a particular font, it should not result in a crash.
