Bug#528467: Programs using libpoppler5 crash with a (broken?) PDF.

[Charles Plessy]

reassign 528467 libpoppler5
affects 528467 +evince
thanks

The following PDF file was reported to freeze Evince:

http://www.bmas-conf.org/2008/5-1_Paper.pdf

I tested it with other programs; it also freezes xpdf, kpdf, and gimp, but not
inkscape. I conclude that it is more a libpoppler5 problem than an Evince problem,
so I reassign the bug to libpoppler5.

However, I wonder if this PDF file is actually broken: when used with pdfimages,
it goes in an endless loop and keeps on producing hundreds of identical small
files. Maybe its structure is not correct? I lack the knowledge in this format
to investigate further…

Have a nice day,
