Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

[Andy Owen (andyowen)]

Very sorry about that. I'll check more thoroughly next time (is there
some easy way to work out which package the bug is actually relevant
too? I checked all the bugs for evince, but to check all the
dependencies would take way too long).

Anyway, thanks so much for your hard work, and feel free to not reply to
this if you don't have the time/willpower.

Andy

No need to be sorry, we don't expect users to know about software details, and not knowing poppler it's not trivial to figure it's doing the pdf rendering for evince.

The backtrace is usually useful for that though, you can notice than the top function are from "/usr/lib/libpoppler.so.1" so the crash happens to the poppler library
