evince crashes with cairo_surface_destroy

[Marc Carter]

Binary package hint: evince

Evince crashes a few seconds after loading the following file:
  http://www.londontown.com/ALondonCalendar2007.pdf
with the following stdout:
~$ evince
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found
evince: /build/buildd/libcairo-1.4.10/src/cairo-surface.c:394: cairo_surface_destroy: Assertion `surface->ref_count > 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

[ I don't believe the esd line has anything to do with this bug. ]

It also crashes around page 11 in this PDF: http://www.acm.org/acmqueue/digital/Queuevol5no6_September2007.pdf

BTW: I get the assertion failure on my 64-bit machine with a Xinerama setup on an nVidia card using the binary driver version 100.14.19.

On the 32-bit install on my laptop with the same nvidia driver version, with a single monitor, I don't get it.

That might explain why I've failed to reproduce this bug with either the two pdfs. Using cairo 1.4.10 evince reports "cairo context error: out of memory" which is fixed with HEAD. I presume it was Behdad's fix to handle the return value of FT_Load_Glyph more intelligently which fixed that false error. Could you try git HEAD on your 64-bit machine? One of the numerous bug fixes which have been made since 1.4.10 is the switch to atomic reference counting, which seems the most relevant to the assertion.

Same problem with that PDF on amd64: http://www.bademeister.com/v7/pix/visions1107_opener.pdf

[André Klitzing (misery)]

Seems to be fixed here. I have no problems anymore with that PDFs.

Cairo 1.6.4
Evince 2.22.2
Poppler 0.8.2

the bug should be fixed in intrepid, feel free to reopen if you still get the issue though
