Hi Norbert,

how discouraging. Since we can't assume that everyone around has a suitably
patched poppler-0.10.x, does that mean we have to postpone the whole project
and wait for poppler-0.11?  The bright side of this would be that you can
prepare all the required TL patches without too much pressure, too be ready when
a corrected poppler release becomes available.

Peter
