           Summary: Image conversion eats up all memory, and then some
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: alexander.johannesen at gmail.com


When converting PDFs to HTML (using -c for complex), some of my documents
swallow up *all* memory (over 3Gb for a 1 Mb PDF with not that much images in
it), grinding the computer to pulp gasping for cache, and every other document
it can reach before this is about 4-5 times slower than normal. Killing the
process is the only escape.

Started with version 0.12.4 (Ubuntu apt-get package), and downloaded and
compiled latest version 0.14.5 with the same results for both versions.
