Bug 687772

Since around gs version 7 some quite old drawings done with idraw no longer get
through.

For example with :
http://www.lit.enstb.org/~keryell/gs/CryptoPage-1_couleur.idraw
I get :
keryell@an-dro:~/public_html/gs$ gs-afpl CryptoPage-1_couleur.idraw

AFPL Ghostscript 8.14: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

If I group the objects in idraw (you can do this by typing "ag") there is no
error longer.

It is cumbersome to modify all my old drawing I use gs in my courses and my
articles on an every day basis to translate PS to PDF throug ps2pdf...

I use idraw and gs for so long time can't remember... :-) Maybe around 1990.

I've tested with different version of gs (gs-gpl, gs-afpl) on Debian/Linux
unstable and they behave the same way.

If you need to use idraw you can install the Debian package ivtools-bin or have
a look at :
http://www.ivtools.org/ivtools/index.html

Thanks a lot if you can fix this misbehaviour !
