Description: Both evince and epdfview crash when reloading a PDF document. This is annoying when trying to work with pdflatex. Note that XPDF doesn't suffer from this bug.

This bug report from Ubuntu seems to discuss a similar issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/242865


Additional info:
* evince 2.22.2-2 and poppler 0.8.3-1


Steps to reproduce:
* Open a PDF document created by pdflatex in evince or epdfview.
* Click reload a few times.
* Usually, the evince or epdfview window will close without prompt.

The following show up in dmesg when the crashes occur:

Also, I seem to be able to make certain documents crash with a certain number of reloads. For example, some take almost always 13 reloads. I cannot explain the pattern.
