To clarify this (Axel, please correct me if I am worng):

To problem that Alex' patch solves is that when you write a pdf
document using poppler, it does not always open with other pdf parsers
(e.g. CAM::PDF), because the startxref that poppler computes and
writes is not correct, as it does not ignore whitespace.
