well ... evince is quite unstable in my system and it seems that this is
not only one pdf. For example i often experience some breakage on exit
(ok, missed the bug report) and have to kill evince's pid.

Maybe this bug has an acceptable patch to it. This causes bad usability.

I have a system with 1 Gb Ram + 1 gb swap and viewing that pdf ( or
maybe others with the effect that causes the bug ) makes the system way
unstable (or can cause it's crash without warning).

I told this  one is RC (it's not) but slightly important. As being
important no one will be caring about it and we have to live for 2 years
with this breaking evince.
