Heya. I see that this bug has been closed for xpdf-reader, as it seems
to be a glibc-related problem which could be fixed in the meantime. I
could not reproduce this for evince (with the new glibc), so I would
like to close this bug. Could you please check if this problem is fixed
for you now?

Thanks,
Marc
