In http://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/map/profile/world.pdf, there's an
infinite loop (e.g. when using pdfshow).

This is a recent regression. 

Most likely caused by incorrect refcounting on a filter. This seems to fix it:

This is what valgraind says. You can see invalid reads caused most likely by
accessing freed object.
