Reassigning to libspectre and merging with the libspectre bug: this
looks like something lower-level than evince itself.

If a simple rebuild with no source changes fixes the symptoms of a bug,
that might indicate an unintended ABI break in libgs9, or perhaps a bug
in the old libgs9 headers (but fixed in the new headers) in code that
gets inlined into libspectre at compile time.
