Patch from the Fedora bug report

poster (a ps utility to print large documents on many small pages) produces invalid output.

Okular shows nothing at all and gs shows the following error message:

GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1


I think that this is the same bug as this one at Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436969 That bug report has a patch which at least produces valid output for me here.

I can confirm this bug on x86 and amd64, GPL Ghostscript 9.10.
