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.
