As it seems to be a widely distributed file, telling its URL in bugzilla would be enough. Or you can attach it in bugzilla or (least convenient for me) mail it to me.
Created attachment 26764 [details] The offending PDF file The source of the file is widely available, but the resulting PDF maybe different if different tools are used to build it.
Reopening and confirming the bug.
The crash was in the thumbnail extraction code. Fixed in CVS now. (File is not human-readable because of gpdf's font problems. There are already bugs filed for that problem) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 139211 ***
