Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard
to determine what caused the crash.  Please see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about getting
a useful stack trace.

The dialog that pops up when the problem occurs

When I run gpdf with the dsohowto.pdf file as an argument, this dialog box pops
up.

The gdb session

This is the gdb session that I did in order to get a stack trace. However, the
debugger doesn't get control and the problem is notified with a dialog box. It
is strange that the debugger doesn't catch a crash, even though I have told the
debugger to stop after receiving any signal. Maybe this isn't a crash, but
instead gpdf detects an error condition and decides that it cannot continue.

Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2004-07-09 22:37:02 UTC

Hmmm.  Odd.  Okay, I'll reopen for the maintainer to look at.  :)

Comment 5 Rémi Cohen-Scali 2004-07-15 01:07:50 UTC

The stack is the following:
