Bug#533759: evince: Segfault when opening dvi files

[Alessio Botta]

Creating the example I realized that this happens only if the dvi
contains a picture. 

I am attaching to this mail a latex file, the included picture in eps
format, the produced dvi (the one causing the segfault), and the
postscript created from that with dvips, which opens perfectly in
evince.

Please let me know if you need something more or different.
Thanks for your time and help.

Alessio
