Description:
I have noticed problec after updating system today, which includes:
[2011-10-20 14:54] upgraded poppler (0.16.7-2 -> 0.18.0-1)
[2011-10-20 14:54] upgraded poppler-glib (0.16.7-2 -> 0.18.0-1)
[2011-10-20 14:55] upgraded evince (3.2.0-1 -> 3.2.0-2)

When I try to view certain PDFs, evince crashes witht "Segmentation Fault". Example of such PDF is available here: http://extremenetworks.com/doc.aspx?id=1187
All attempts to open this PDF have failed. I just see window of evince is blinking for a moment and then crash. File was opening OK some days ago.
evince starts without file with no problem, "Open" of this file from menu leads to crash too. There are some other files, which opens OK.
This task depends upon

Here it is. One additional note: I use cairo-xcb, may be it causes the problem, but I'm not seeing other problems.
Trace was made with this packages recompiled with debugging symbols:
evince
poppler
poppler-glib
cairo-xcb
   trace.log (3.1 KiB)
