Comment 5 for bug 111278

I think I'm seeing a similar problem in Xpdf, using the same PDF I list in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/240044 :

gwern@craft:10578~>xpdf causality.pdf [ 2:48PM]
zsh: segmentation fault xpdf causality.pdf

I scroll to page 5, and as I go to page 6, it crashes. Once it included a backtrace:
gwern@craft:10578~>xpdf causality.pdf [ 2:48PM]
*** glibc detected *** xpdf: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0000000000882080 ***
