Hi Andreas,

> I committed a fix a while back since multiple users were reporting being affected by it, but kept that open, since I was not really satisfied with the robustness of the fix.

I did not originally see the commit, thanks, I'm grateful for that.

> Thinking more about it now, perhaps we can resolve this particular one, and create a new, linked issue for a more thorough solution. As I recall, someone may have already posted a suggestion/patch (?)

Or just close it and if something else comes up, that particular user 
can open a new one.

Radu

Yeah, indeed... If you look closer in the comments, I committed a fix a while back since multiple users were reporting being affected by it, but kept that open, since I was not really satisfied with the robustness of the fix. 
Thinking more about it now, perhaps we can resolve this particular one, and create a new, linked issue for a more thorough solution. As I recall, someone may have already posted a suggestion/patch (?)

Hi Simon,

Thanks, great news. I took it for a spin and it worked in my case (PDF 
of about 1500 pages).
Also the NPE I encountered using FOP 2.0 seems to be fixed:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2461

although it does not yet seem to have the resolved state in the JIRA 
tracker.

Regards,
Radu
