When viewing a very specific area in a single pdf, evince crashes on my up to date dapper box. The pdf that crashes it is an ebook I purchased so I am not including it, but I will email it to a developer if they need it. It is "Agile Web Developement with Rails: Second Edition" Beta Book from http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/ It crashes when scrolling past page 71. It only crashes when evince is maximised. The error that I get is: Bogus memory allocation size
"It only crashes when evince is maximised." That would seem to me that is an evince bug and not a poppler one, but without the document there's nothing to be done.
I have just encountered the same bug and also filed it here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/51538
Any chance you can try with a newer poppler?
It's definitely a Poppler issue. I can reproduce this with poppler 0.11.1 thusly: $ pdfimages --version pdfimages version 0.11.1 [snip] $ pdfimages 1972.pdf tmp Error (147774): 3 extraneous bytes after segment Bogus memory allocation size The PDF in question is 1972.pdf; it's linked to from the following URL: http://doddcenter.uconn.edu/collections/nutmeg/index.htm I'm not attaching it here because it's 18MB, and also because I'm not sure how redistributable it is. The file I have was last modified Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:08:45 GMT, and has md5sum 9ee38b8f90dbe343163f9927d37c35bd.
Why was this posted here? What relation does this has with the first post?
The first report in this bug never seemed a poppler bug and the second one works here on poppler 0.12 so i'm closing the bug. If any of you still have problems after updating to poppler >= 0.12 please open a new bug and explain it again.
