• Pushing inherited objects to pages and getting all pages were both
    prone to stack overflow infinite loops if there were loops in the
    Pages dictionary. There is a general weakness in the code in that any
    part of the code that traverses the Pages structure would be prone to
    this and would have to implement its own loop detection. A more robust
    fix may provide some general method for handling the Pages structure,
    but it's probably not worth doing.
    
    Note: addition of *Internal2 private functions was done rather than
    changing signatures of existing methods to avoid breaking
    compatibility.

  • Original reported here:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qpdf/+bug/1397413
    
    The PDF specification says that the /Type key for nodes in the pages
    dictionary (both /Page and /Pages) is required, but some PDF files
    omit them. Use the presence of other keys to determine the type of
    pages tree node this is if the type key is not found.

  • Ideally, the library should never call assert outside of test code,
    but it does in several places.  For some cases where the assertion
    might conceivably fail because of a problem with the input data,
    replace assertions with exceptions so that they can be trapped by the
    calling application.  This commit surely misses some cases and
    replaced some cases unnecessarily, but it should still be an
    improvement.
