----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've found the culprit, there is a chain of dictionary entries like:
{code}
%% Original object ID: 615 0
627 0 obj
<<
/Dest [
15 0 R
/XYZ
428
392
0
]
/Next 625 0 R
/Parent 5 0 R
/Prev 629 0 R
/Title (position_1516796_2160)
>>
endobj
{code}
that is over 5000 entries in length.
The document is just a couple of pages of text, but it was created by Microsoft
Word .....
With a larger stack size it works. However it is still possible to craft a PDF
file that will cause a stackoverflow when used in the merger utility. Perhaps
the cloneForNewDocument can be implemented without recursion.
