It seems that you're right about pdftops.  However, it is also the case
that the pdf viewers still exit, implying that they're not handling the
failure of pdftops very well, or that they have their own crash issues
as well.  Trying to get a stack trace from kpdf gave me over 3000
frames, for instance :/

Thanks all,
