Doc Text:	Previously, including a large JBIG2 compressed image in the PDF input file may have caused the pdf2ps conversion utility to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This was caused by the fact that the result of the "jbig2_image_new" function call was not always checked properly. This error has been fixed, and the inclusion of JBIG2 images no longer results in a segmentation fault.	Story Points:	---
