Patch

LibreOffice calls ghostscript to render EPS files using pipes, but it waits for
the completion of write to GS before reading result from GS.  This sequence may
cause deadlock for some EPS files.

Though this is a LibreOffice's bug filed at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82290 ,
FreeBSD is very susceptible to the bug because of its pipe implementation.

Until upstream is fixed, libreoffice port should have its own patch for the
bug.

Attached is the patch.
