Package: evince
Version: 49~alpha.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When one hovers on internal links in the document, evince displays a pop up with the target of the link.  When doing this repeatedly evince crashes.

In case it helps, here is the run under gdb:

[Thread 0x7f1a277fe6c0 (LWP 1120875) exited]
[Thread 0x7f1a27fff6c0 (LWP 1120874) exited]
[Thread 0x7f1a33fff6c0 (LWP 1120866) exited]
[Thread 0x7f1a316fd6c0 (LWP 1120873) exited]

Thread 1 "evince" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007f1a471f40a5 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-4.so.1

Running it under strace, it takes longer to crash but eventually does and then repeats the message: 

ppoll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 2, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=0}, NULL, 8) = 1 ([{fd=8, revents=POLLIN}], left {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=0})

Best regards,
C.
