Dear Heiko,

here in the DBTS we got a bug report about a small syntax error in thumbpdf. It
becomes visible when calling the script using perl 5.22. Simply call thumbpdf w/
argument:

hille@sid:~ $ thumbpdf
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by
<-- HERE in m/\\UseRGB{ <-- HERE (\d+)}\\\s*\d+\s*R/ at /usr/bin/thumbpdf line 1456.
THUMBPDF 3.16, 2014/07/15 - Copyright (c) 1999-2014 by Heiko Oberdiek.
Syntax:   thumbpdf [options] <jobname[.pdf|.ps]>

Fix should be straight forward, please be so kind to comment on this and upload
a fixed package.

Thanks!
  Hilmar
