Same issue here for opening pdf documents.

Workaround:
Downgrade libgeist1 version 2.2.13-0ubuntu1 to 2.2.12-0ubuntu2

Bug is exclusively in libgeis1.

Hello,

@bregma: I confirm that your patch fixes this bug! Thanks :)

If someone wants a quick fix:
 * You can install this new version from my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~matttbe/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/2785574/+listing-archive-extra
 * Or use these bzr branches (I'm not sure that it's needed because I don't know when the new version of Geis (2.2.14) will be released):
    - lp:~matttbe/geis/raring-lp1077376
    - lp:~matttbe/ubuntu/raring/geis/lp1077376
