[tex-live] mpost assertion failure

[Werner LEMBERG]

> And with rev. 30652, everything works fine again, thanks.

Alas, I spoke too soon.  While it doesn't crash any more, some of of
the resulting glyphs are heavily distorted.

Attached are the necessary input files to provide one of those glyphs,
together with mpost's PS output from r26509 (good) and r30634 (bad).
Sorry for not having more time to reduce the sample code even more.

Folks, this isn't production code...

PS: Comparing the i386-linux mpost binaries of r26509 (for TeXLive
    2012) and the current one (r30634) I notice that the former has a
    size of about 506kByte, while the latter is almost 13 times
    larger, having 6474kByte!  How comes?  While I agree that disk
    space is cheap today, such an increase looks, well, heavy.
