win32 crash on import of AI 8.0 !PS file

[Alvin Penner]

Win 32 nightly build from May 8
- import the attached AI 8.0 file
- crash with the DOS exit message

C:\Python25\APP>inkcl.py
return code: -1073741819
Error: Couldn't open 'nameToUnicode' file 'C:\target\share\poppler\nameToUnicode\a'
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table

I understand that the file import supports only AI 9.0, but a crash is not appropriate.

- also, this crash message is very similar to the pdf case : Bug 229524
- also, this file can be successfully converted using uniconv, to obtain the attached svg file

okay, I get it, based on response from uniconv forum :
http://sk1project.org/forum/topic.php?forum=2&topic=41

AI 8 is Postscript based, while newer AI format is PDF based.
The attached file is Postscript based, so it cannot be opened.

However, it still should not crash.
