Bug Description

Binary package hint: libpoppler13

Split off from bug 669211 since I was told this was a different issue:

In Natty, many PDFs cause epdfview to crash on startup.

Unhelpful stack trace (no symbols):
#0 0xb775b706 in ?? () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
#1 0xb7f5777b in g_strdup () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0

I tried installing poppler-dbg and setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/debug and to /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib (where the debug library gets installed) but I still don't get symbols in the stack trace. Any suggestions?

Bug 783109 seems to be "private", whatever that means. If I click on the link Launchpad is giving me, it tells me:
There’s no page with this address in Launchpad.
and the note at the bottom of the bug says "Remember, this bug report is a duplicate of a private bug. "
Is there some way to see bug 783109 or track it? I'd like to know if epdfview gets fixed, or if I can help with testing, since you suggested I should add further comments to that bug, I'm guessing maybe it isn't meant to be private.
