Title:
  evince-thumbnailer blocks the system with huge memory-load

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  I am running the Ubuntu Karmic RC with all patches till today applied.
  When I accessed a folder in nautilus, suddenly the whole system became unresponsive (like mouse only moved about every five seconds), the disk was constantly being accessed (I presume due to the high memory load caching everything it can on disk), the Internet connection was lost, after a few minutes the window-decorations went down partially and then I had to hard reset the notebook (by pressing the power button for 5 seconds). This is the second time this happened in two days and since this is completely stopping any productive work with the system I hope this can be fixed soon (or already is because this is a duplicate :-)).

  Thanks and best regards
