Description

Attempting to parse the attached "map.pdf" causes the Tika parser to hang due to an infinite loop involving "PDFStreamParser" logic.

This problem occurs in both tika-app 1.28.1 and 2.3.0.

It is also worth noting that Acrobat itself will become unresponsive if attempting to open this document.

To reproduce the problem, just run:

java -jar tika-app-1.28.1.jar map.pdf
