Description arno_b 2014-06-26 07:46:10 UTC

When opening this PDF document (http://www.cs.kent.edu/~jmaletic/cs63903/papers/gutwenger03.pdf) using evince 3.10.3 (poppler 0.24.3, on Fedora 20), evince freezes while producing thumbnails from the page 3.

I can only kill evince to close it.
The PDF can be open using Firefox 30 and Acroread 9.
Producing a PS document to then re-produce a PDF one, or printing the PDF document as another PDF document results in the same problem.

Confirming. Poppler looping itself to death in TextBlock::visitDepthFirst().
