[tex-k] epstopdf crashes with malloc error

[Seth Gilchrist]

Hello,
I'm using epstopdf as part of LaTeX. The latex compilation fails on a
epstopdf error that can be reproduced on the command line:

$ epstopdf --outfile=NeckFractues-eps-converted-to.pdf NeckFractues.eps
gs: malloc.c:3524: _int_malloc: Assertion `(bck->bk->size & 0x4) == 0'
failed.

The eps file can be downloaded  from
https://github.com/sethgilchrist/dissertation/blob/master/intro/Figures/NeckFractues.eps

Please let me know if you need more information.
