I don't have any answers. I thought PostScript parsing worked, but I don't
have any PostScript files on my server... As far as I can tell, PDF parsing
at least manages to index files, though I don't know if it's bug-free.

In your opinion is this a "must fix" for 3.1.0 or do we release and deal
with it later?
