[Bug 70428] Re: Certain PDFs caused huge memory usage

[Pierre-Charles David]

I don't know if this is the same problem, but I have a similar issue
with one particular PDF. Everything seems fine when viewing the first
few pages, but arriving around page 20 evince suddenly allocates *all*
my physical memory (1Gb) and cotinues to allocates more on the swap
(albeit at a limited rate given the speed of the disk), making it
difficult to stop it (the UI is unresponsive).

The particular PDF which causes the problem for me is available at
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/21578.html (click on "PDF" in the list of
cached versions of the document on the upper right corner of the page).
The PDF itself seems harmless enough: about 750k, not many figures, and
Acrobat Reader has no problem reading it.

This is under Edgy x86 (on a Core Duo), evince-0.6.1-0ubuntu1.
