Subject: [PATCH] pdfwrite - Guard against trying to output an infinite number
Bug #699255 " Buffer overflow on pprintg1 due to mishandle postscript file data to pdf"
The file uses an enormous parameter to xyxhow, causing an overflow in
the calculation of text positioning (value > 1e39).
Since this is basically a nonsense value, and PostScript only supports
real values up to 1e38, this patch follows the same approach as for
a degenerate CTM, and treats it as 0.
Adobe Acrobat Distiller throws a limitcheck error, so we could do that
instead if this approach proves to be a problem.
