Looking back at the cvs history I think I'm the one to blame :-)

(The deallocation was never included, so I must have applied your PDF 
transparency patch by hand and missed that bit.)

In any case, why *do* we need this extra pdfprimlist? From what I see in 
the code, it's only use is to have a full copy of the original primitive 
list, minus the culled primitives... Is there something else I'm missing?
