           Summary: Broken PDF makes Evince crash and pdfimages loop.
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://bugs.debian.org/528467
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: charles-debian-nospam at plessy.org


Dear Poppler developers,

The page 6 of the following PDF file was reported on Debian to cause problems
to Evince. Actually, in later versions it crashes.

http://www.bmas-conf.org/2008/5-1_Paper.pdf
http://bugs.debian.org/528467

This file also causes problems to xpdf, kpdf and gimp, but not to inkscape or
imagemagick. With pdfimage, it triggers an apparently infinite loop where the
sam e file is created again and again.

While it is probable that the PDF file itself is broken, I open this bug in
hope it will help you to make poppler resistant to such brokenness.

Thanks a lot for your work, and have a nice week-end,
