[Therion] Infinite loop in therion 5.3.9

[Footleg]

Right, I got to the bottom of what is causing my inifinte loop
situation. It is because I had no walls, and had hidden the centreline
symbol group. So there is nothing to draw on the PDF and this causes
the issue. I have attached two examples because they behave
differently.

test.zip contains a project where I am importing the centreline from a
survex.3d file. This goes into an infinite loop when you try to
compile it (Windows 7 with Therion 5.3.9)

test2.zip contains the more usual centreline data in the .th file.
This causes Therion to throw a fatal exception and so you get an error
in the compile. This is better behaviour as it exits immediately and
indicates something is wrong.
