Text selection on specific PDF causes Evince to crash

[Daniel James <daniel 64studio com>]

Hello all,

In the 64 Studio distro we currently ship Evince 0.5.3, because the 
version in Debian etch (where we get most of our packages) is too old.

With a specific PDF, I cannot select any text without Evince crashing. 
The backtrace is pasted below. If you would like a copy of the PDF, 
please let me know an address to post it to offlist (it's a magazine 
feature which hasn't been published yet, so I think it would be impolite 
to post it publicly).

If the Evince team thinks the correct solution would be for us to 
backport the latest Evince release to etch, please let us know. (It's 
currently only available in Debian experimental, not in testing). 
However if you can confirm that the problem persists in the latest 
release, I guess there's something weird about the PDF file.

Cheers!

Daniel
