Public bug reported:

When viewing a particular file, attached to this bug report, evince
causes my entire system to go unresponsive due to very high memory use.
The pdf does eventually show, but in the process, memory usage appears
to rise up to 900 MB or so on my system, and presumably the use of the
swap file to account for this large amount of memory is what is causing
the system to be unresponsive.

xpdf has no problem opening the file.
