Hi Josselin,

more strange things ...

That made me wonder ...

so I rebuild evince with libkpathsea-dev from experimental.

AFAIS libkpathsea is even statically linked into evince, I found
no appearance of it in ldd of /usr/bin/evince, /usr/lib/libevview.so.1.0.0 or 
/usr/lib/libevdocument.so.1.0.0.

So I can only assume that the crash comes from something different ...

Best wishes

Norbert

SWANAGE (pl.n.)
Swanage is the series of diversionary tactics used when trying to
cover up the existence of a glossop (q.v.) and may include (a)
uttering a high-pitched laugh and pointing out of the window (NB. this
doesn't work more that twice); (b) sneezing as loudly as possible and
wiping the glossop off the table in the same movement as whipping out
your handkerchief; (c) saying 'Christ! I seen to have dropped some
shit on your table' (very unwise); (d) saying 'Christ, who did that?'
(better) (e) pressing your elbow on the glossop itself and working
your arms slowly to the edge of the table; (f) leaving the glossop
where it is but moving a plate over it and putting up with sitting at
an uncomfortable angle the rest of the meal; or, if the glossop is in
too exposed a position, (g) leaving it there unremarked except for the
occasional humorous glance.
