Ghostscript correctly detects that q/Q operators are not balanced
but does it at the end of the job. We need enforce the balance
for every form stream.
Comment 3 Alex Cherepanov 2009-04-30 20:42:25 UTC 
Check for unbalanced q/Q operators in content streams of PDF forms.
Add missing Q when needed and issue a warning. 

The following patch has been committed as a rev. 9716.

Regression testing shows no differences.
