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 problems you describe are fixed in post 0.131. The loading time propblem also. Your document must have thumbnails generated and this might be the first reason for crash (a bug while loading Thumbnails ColorMap): bug #139211. Another problem with big files were also fixed that was also causing some crash sometimes: bug #137439. If you confirm that your PDF document have thumbnails (I think you can't provide me with the document), I'll close this bug. You should upgrade to 0.132 or after (2.6.x or 2.7.x or even better CVS HEAD).
Had an answer OOB from the reporter: "Thank you for your support I will download the cvs version now and test it !" then "Thank you, it works with the CVS version ! Best Regards, Jonathan Schemoul"
