Bug#580655: evince: Freezes when opening a specific PDF file

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: evince
Version: 2.30.1-2
Severity: normal

Evince crashes (more properly, seems to freeze into some kind of infinite loop
while the interface is displayed without any pdf showing), when try to open one
of my pdf files. When it happens, I have 200% CPU usage (dual-core).

The strange thing is: if I rename the file, then Evince is able to open it just
fine. If I rename it back to the original filename, it freezes when I try to
open it.

Could I have some sort of invalid Evince-configuration for this file? It seems
to me that evince saves something in its configuration to remember page numbers
and so on. Incidentally, this file has only one page.

Other pdf files open fine in Evince.

Deleting ~/.gnome2/evince did not work. Are there other files I can delete that
are related to the evince configuration?

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
