Forwarding from https://bugs.debian.org/809388

The attached file will occasionally crash evince when it is being reloaded.  You can reproduce this by opening the file in evince and hold down Ctrl-R.  Evince should crash within a couple minutes.  Or set the environment variable G_SLICE=debug-blocks before running evince to have it immediately abort with the message "attempt to release non-allocated block".

Use-g_slice_new0-for-PopplerActionLayer.patch

There's a mismatch in how the PopplerActionLayer is allocated and freed in the glib frontend.  It's allocated with g_new0, but freed with g_slice_free.  This patch changes the allocation to use g_slice_new0.
