Description Jonathan Thomas 2008-08-27 05:12:30 UTC

This PDF causes Okular and the mini Qt4 test viewer
in Poppler to freeze and consume tons of memory very quickly:

Not a memory leak, just a broken PDF that specifies huge font sizes. We not discard them. Will be "fixed" on poppler 0.9.0

Hmm, yes. That would make sense. It almost seemed like it was taking up huge amounts of RAM instantly. I guess it was. ;-)
Thanks for the fix!
