Description Steffen Röcker 2009-07-18 07:44:45 UTC
I've been trying to open the PDF available at http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0611237 but Evince fails to open page 5 and only shows 'Loading'. Page 5 consists of text and an embedded graphic.
CPU usage is at ~80% and memory usage increases ~2Mb/s.

I have tried the Postscript version of the document with Evince and it can display page 5 but fails on page 10.
Acrobat Reader and gv can display the .pdf(/.ps) properly.

The file is not correctly formed, i've added a workaround that will be present in poppler versions >= 0.11.2

poppler doesn't have anything to do with postscript rendering so you should find the proper program (maybe gs?) to file a bug.
