Package: evince
Version: 2.22.2-4~lenny1
Severity: normal

Evince keeps crashing when opening this PDF:

http://kreis-ed.info/komxpress/DynDox/0BFA1B15-5FE7-484E-934D-9264D893901B/Antrag_auf_Papiertonne.pdf
(MD5SUM bc03024e60a5f047540063e30ff1517b)

I've  tried some other pdf viewers, they all failed (see output below).
Okular managed to print out a back-trace after installing the
debugging symbols. It has been attached.

I _guess_ that either the PDF isn't valid (which shouldn't be a reason
for a crash) or that libpoppler or some other common library contains a
bug. Therefore this bug should soon be reassigned.

PS: Somebody should check whether this is a security risk.
