I have the same problem (Xubuntu Karmic). It seems to me that evince mainly freezes the system when zooming large files or files that are not yet completely loaded.
Sebastien (comment #4): How long time should I give the system to answer your question? Is a couple of minutes enough? (this did not help)
I never get apport crash reports (I'm not sure it is enabled, but maybe it's also because of the system locking up totally).
