 Simply by applying "Buffer Labels" to an 8-letter label on a vector layer
 containing a single-feature  point creates more than a million (1314400
 --corrupted PS) lines of PostScript code that takes 5 minutes to display
 on a modern PC. Adding a few more features to label crashes Composer. The
 composer view used has just one item, a map object. This is under Ubuntu
 10.10 and QGIS 1.6.

 The attached example contains the QGS file, the point SHP file along with
 the malformed PDF printout.
