+// An inline image dictionary may carry both spellings of a key — /W beside
+// /Width, /CS beside /ColorSpace — and disagree with itself. reader before
+// v0.4.2 expanded such a dictionary in one pass over its map, so the winner
+// was whichever Go's randomised iteration order yielded last, and the same
+// page drew a different picture on different runs of the same binary. Eight
+// renders of safedocs' Inline_Image_Abbreviations fixture gave five different
+// answers.
+//
+// Nothing in this package's own tests could see that: every one of them draws
+// a page once. Non-determinism is invisible to a suite that never repeats
+// itself, which is why this test repeats itself.
+//
+// The image is built here rather than committed, so nobody else's PDF enters
+// the repository. It says /W 2 and /Width 1, and /H 1 and /Height 2: the two
+// readings give a 2x1 image and a 1x2 one, which do not cover the same pixels.
