Type1CParser fails in gs with /typecheck in --closefile-- [patch]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.python pdfsizeopt.py alphabet.pdf

I have attached the file.  It is 14 KB.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

pdfsizeopt "by pts@fazekas.hu at Sun Mar 29 13:42:05 CEST 2009"
gs8.71
Fedora 8 Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

The patch below fixed the problem for me.  I inserted debug code and calls
to pstack and found that LoadCff leaves a dictionary on the stack.  The
patch pops the dictionary.  Comments in LoadCff mention problems that
depend on the version of gs, so I made the pop conditional on finding a
dictionary.
