Bug#924029: evince: Crashes when opening a PDF

[Christophe Troestler]

Package: evince
Version: 3.30.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When opening these PDF files:
- http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pubs/paper277.pdf
- http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pubs/paper281.pdf
evince aborts with the message:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_M_construct null not valid
Aborted

“qpdfview” is able to display the files.

Best,
C.
