Description

As reported by Simon Gaeremynck in the user mailing list with attached file.

[3] Stack trace:
[error] at org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSFloat.<init>(COSFloat.java:81)

His proposed change in COSFloat

-            if (aFloat.matches("^0\\.0+\\-\\d+"))
+            if (aFloat.matches("^0\\.0*\\-\\d+"))

I'll commit it after running regression tests.
