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.

The fix as linked was committed upstream and is in the current version of libreoffice.
