I can confirm this bug when pstoedit is called to convert pdfs to svg.
Gutsy systems can enter an infinite loop with no system calls when
pstoedit is called in the normal way.

As mentioned in bug #156365 and bug #78737, and in the pstoedit
changelog <URL: http://www.helga-
glunz.homepage.t-online.de/pstoedit/changelog.htm >, the problem seems
to arise from versions of pstoedit < 3.45 being used with ghostscripts
>= 8.61.

For a workaround, a local source-build backport of Debian sid's pstoedit
3.45-2 solved the problem for me: I suggest grabbing the three source
files linked at at <URL: http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/pstoedit
> and doing a local package build so that at least you'll be getting a
packaged build of the program.
