What were you doing when the application crashed?
I viewed a DVI file, then I re-run LaTeX. Evince crashed when automatically re-loading the modified DVI file.

We do _not_ reload file automatically. Is it Ubuntu-specific patch?

You are right that reloading does not happen automatically. The file is being reloaded when you go to a different page in the document. However, Evince crashed in the moment the page is being reloaded, even if reloading is requested via the menu.

is it still reproducible? I think Nickolay fixed this yet ...
