Bug#793095: PDF makes evince to hang

Package: evince
Version: 3.14.1-2
Severity: serious

On Debian 8, the following PDF makes evince to hang:

http://ssii.ucm.es/wifi/eduroam/GN2-07-327v2-DS5_1_1-_eduroam_Service_Definition.pdf

I do this:

evince the-above-document.pdf

and I can see pages 1 to 5, but when I arrive at page 6, it becomes
unresponsive and "top" shows the evince command consuming 100% CPU
and it remains that way forever.

Maybe this is due to some library which is not working properly and
not evince itself, but I have not identified it. Please reassign as
appropriate.

Note: pdftoppm suffers from the same problem. I've reported that separately.

Thanks.
