Description:
apvlv seems to create a huge memory leak if it is used to open a pdf file from firefox (e.g. by the "open with" dialog). I couldn't track the error down, as it renders my system unusable within seconds.

Additional info:
* local system
Linux: 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64

* package version(s)
0.0.9.7-1

* config and/or log files etc.
% more .apvlvrc
set doubleclick = word
set guioptions = mT


Steps to reproduce:
Navigate firefox to http://www.tex.ac.uk/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools/mdwlist.pdf and use the dialog to open it with apvlv (which is in /usr/bin/). apvlv is started but doesn't show up. The memory consumption grows fast.
This task depends upon

Does not happen here. No problem in firefox nor icecat under x86_64.

If I do not hear about others having a similar problem within three days, I would like to close this report.
