Just to confirm I'm getting the same segfault on both Debian Etch and  
Mac OS X, using both 0.9.0 and the current development snapshot.  
Verbose output is:

VERBOSE clearSoftMask statepos=3
VERBOSE Casting gfxline of 0 segments to a stroke-polygon
VERBOSE Casting gfxline of 5 segments (5 line segments) to a gfxpoly
VERBOSE Comparing polygon renderings of size 102x137 and 102x137
VERBOSE Bad SVP rewinding result- polygons don't match
VERBOSE Error in polygon processing
Segmentation fault

I've posted a file where this occurs at
  http://www.wwmagazines.com/test/News.pdf

in case it helps with debugging. Let me know if there's anything else  
I can provide to help in nailing this down.

pdf2swf is ridiculously awesome - I was amazed to find something which  
generates SWFs so faithful to the original file. :)

cheers
