pdf which makes my Evince to use all my memory (6.78 KB, application/pdf)

Description cpacchierotti 2013-02-15 09:55:00 UTC 
Created attachment 236224 [details]
pdf which makes my Evince to use all my memory

Every time I try to open or even just preview on Nautilus the pdf file attached, Evince starts demanding all the memory. This leads to a complete freeze of the OS.

Confirmed on:
GNOME Document Viewer 3.6.1
GNOME Document Viewer 3.4.0

No problem in:
GNOME Document Viewer 3.2.1
and older
Comment 1 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2013-02-15 10:09:17 UTC 
Can you give us details which version of poppler are you using? which system?

I can not reproduce the bug, although I get the following output in my terminal:
BAD status: out of memory
BAD status: out of memory
BAD status: out of memory

That is with evince 3.4.0/poppler 0.18.4, and with evince/poppler from master.
Comment 2 cpacchierotti 2013-02-15 10:18:33 UTC 
poppler-0.20.2-9.fc18.x86_64

Comment 3 José Aliste 2013-02-15 14:58:37 UTC 
Could you please report the bug in poppler's bugzilla? http://bugs.freedesktop.org 

In my machine, it does not eat all the memory (thanks to my swap) but it uses around 4GB just to render one page! and then releases most of the memory... Valgrind didn't say much, but I don't know much about it. 

And I can reproduce the bug in poppler-glib-demo with poppler git master
Comment 4 cpacchierotti 2013-02-15 15:09:24 UTC 
Now on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60901.

This bug can be thus closed.

Thank you,
