There are a few upstream bug reports filed against cairo for similar issues,
such as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102966 and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81657. The 'Poppler' library has
tended to work around these by modifying the transformation matrix to not be so
large.
