Bug ID: 59986
Summary: PDFHandler doesn't redirect gs stderr, so errors in
that stage not reported
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: easy
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: PdfHandler

Marking easy, as this is probably a straightforward bug to fix.
Currently PDFHandler runs gs and convert in a pipeline (See
PdfHandler::doTransform). It sticks 2>&1 on the end of the command to catch
error output, however that doesn't apply to the whole pipeline, only the last
command. Hence ghostscript (gs) errors are missed.
Recommended fix: remove the 2>&1, and instead of calling wfShellExec, call
wfShellExecWithStderr. (This will also catch errors for other commands, like
the resource limit things, so its better than using 2>&1 anyways).
