[tex-live] bug in thumbpdf? - PATCH

[Norbert Preining]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to Ulrike's test files I could track it down ...

That was absolutely true, but my check was wrong, because thumbpdf was
parsing a *different* file, the thumbpdf.pdf.

There are two changes in PDF-X or whatever that adds these new lines
after << and >>.

With the attached patch it works again on my installations.

But I don't know whether
	tell
	seek
works on Windows, too (Ulrike ... please ...)

The idea is that we read the next line (peek at it), and if it
is a << or endobj then we just do as normal, otherwise we put
the line back.

Patch attached, comments welcome.

Thanks


Norbert
