Created an attachment (id=34251)
 --> (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=34251)
Two minimal similar PDF files, one triggers the bug and the other does not

Here is a test case (see attached file isolated-test-case.zip) that properly
isolates the bug. The following 2 files were made using Inkscape (ubuntu 9.10).
The only difference between them is that the image that they contain was:
 * pasted from another inkscape document (file bug.pdf, 4kb)
 * dropped from nautilus (nobug.pdf, 2.4kb).

Note the different file sizes.
I hope that these files will allow to easily track down what triggers this bug.

This bug might cause a loss of data, because a low resource 5-years-old machine
(512Mb RAM) becomes totally unresponsive and the only way to stop evince or
evince-thumbnailer is to hard reset the computer.

Regards,
Ric.
