Binary package hint: evince

I tried to open a document with evince. No matter if I run with the document as command line parameter or if I open it with the GUI, evince crashes.
The document is attached to this report.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

I tried to further investigate the problem and found out that this bug is also related with the zooming. For me the problem occurs when I set the zoom level to 85%.

I tried to generate the valgrind output. Unfortunately I cannot because the program does not crash when running it with valgrind as explained on the wiki page. When running without valgrind however, it still crashes.

If you have further steps that I could perform please let me know.

valgrind often workaround the crashes but the log should still show the issue

[Fole (fole)]

Ok. I created the log file with valgrind. See file attached.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the log indicates a libspectre issue

This bug is still present in Karmic, after scrolling to the end of a postscript file created with pcal Evince crashed, if i try to change the zoom level evince also crashes.

got this from syslog.
