Package: evince-gtk
Version: 2.30.1-3
Severity: normal

evince-gtk reprodicibly crashes when viewing this pdf:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/GA22-7000-4_370_Principles_Of_Operation_Sep75.pdf

To reproduce:

1) start evince as in example below.
2) hit "End" on the keyboard, evince will show the last page.
3) hit "PageUp", evince will crash.

This is what I see if I run evince in a terminal:

% evince GA22-7000-4_370_Principles_Of_Operation_Sep75.pdf
The program 'evince' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 2316 error_code 8 request_code 59 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
  that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
  To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
  option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
  backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
