Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

After relaoding a PDF with quite complex figures (not only text) evince crashes with a "Segmentation fault" message.
It seems that this problem depends on the complexity of included figures as often more than one reload is necessary to cause the crash.

Here you can find two example files causing a crash:
http://www.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~cm234/misc/bugreport/12_rnafolding.pdf (<= crash after reloading two times)
http://www.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~cm234/misc/bugreport/13_rnafolding.pdf (<= crash after reloading three times)
