[NTG-pdftex] /Font resources must be indirect?

Hi, copyFontResources in pdftoepdf.cc requires the fonts to be specified indirectly in a font resource dictionary. Why? Background: I've got a pdf (from http://www.stillhq.com/pdfdb/000623/info.html) that directly includes the font dictionaries in the font resource dictionary, and pdftex fails while including it. kpdf and AR7 display the file without problems, but gs 8.54 barfs.
