hardly a security issue; if someone sends someone a crafted PDF file triggering
such an endless loop the user will simply abort kpdf and never look at
that file again, this is only denial of service by a _very_ far stretch
of imagination. I suppose KDE Security only issued an update for it
because the shared underlying code was part of the Month of Apple Bugs
and they wanted to debunk claims of code injection.
