What do you mean by "blank"? Is the file empty or is it a PostScript 
file that prints/displays nothing? Could you post the complete test case 
and the PostScript output. It would also be helpful to check the context 
and surface status just before they are destroyed. See the 
cairo_status() and cairo_surface_status() functions.
