Hm, thanks for reporting, Francois. Unfortunately backtrace is not very useful. And I am thinking it looks like a duplicate. Can you try to collect backtrace with symbols?
How can I do that ? (I don't understant what does mean "backtrace with symbols") I collected this backtrace with bug-buddy, but I don't sent the bug-report by e-mail, because I don't use SMTP servers ...
Please read this: http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces You need to rebuild evince and poppler from source probably. If it's interesting to you - join channel #evince on irc.gnome.org, we'll help you. If not, don't bother, it looks like known bug. Or you can give a link to your pdf, I'll try to reproduce this bug myself.
If you take the beamer user guide, go to p134, and select around the pictures. That is my crash (It works all the time). http://www.stud.math.ntnu.no/kurs/etc/beameruserguide.pdf My CFLAGS are "-O3 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" . Tomorow, I will recompile Evince with "-march=athlon-xp -pipe -g" and with the "nostrip" FEATURE, and I will try to obtain a better backtrace ... If you have some other requests ... I read my e-mails !
I recompiled evince with : CFLAGS="-g -pipe" FEATURES="nostrip" here is the backtrace : Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/evince' Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1". `system-supplied DSO at 0xffffe000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.
