Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
steps to reproduce:
1. open http://
2. add "zoom in" and "zoom out" buttons to your toolbar (i'm not sure if this is really needed, but I reproduced the problem in this way)
3. switch on continous-mode
4. scroll (slowly) to the bottom of the document
5. click on "zoom in" till zoom level reaches 200 %
6. scroll (slowly) to the top of the document
result:
evince consumes about 1,5 GB vm-memory (600 mb writeable).
system becomes very slow.
If the steps do not work for you, try zooming in and out again.
I verified this with compiz running, 1 GB physical RAM, 2 GB swap.
