I'd just like to note that I can reproduce this in the latest Hardy Heron on my system with 4 GB of RAM, using the Vorlesung PDF example at 400%; in fact, I don't even need to scroll. Attached is an strace log.

The program 'evince' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 1135 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
