Synopsis: Evince crashes when copying text from certain documents
Bugzilla-Product: evince

BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.12.0)
Description:
Description of the crash:

There are certain documents that make Evince crash when trying to copy
text. The only relation between those documents is that they are in
spanish, and that all of them come from the spanish government. Maybe
they use a PDF generator that doesn't comply with standards...

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Download one of those documents from here:
http://www.mityc.es/empleo/Documentos/BASESCOMUNES2005.pdf
2. Try to copy text from various places; sometimes it takes more time,
but finally it always crashes.

Expected Results:
Well, I'd have expected to copy text, but it actually crashes.

How often does this happen?
With those documents, always.

Additional Information:
There you have another document that makes Evince crash when copying:

http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2006/01/10/pdfs/A00921-00930.pdf

In fact, ALL PDF documents from http://www.boe.es/ make Evince crash
when copying.
