Title:
  evince floods tmp directory with temporary files

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  When trying to view a PDF file received from my accountant, I found
  that evince did not display more than a fraction of the text, and it
  was very sluggish, running at nearly 100 % CPU. I soon received a
  system warning about my root file system being almost full, and on
  examination I found that my /tmp directory had some 113,000 files:

  pang@barbaren:~$ ls -l /tmp/?????? | head
  -rw------- 1 pang pang 34930 2010-05-20 11:13 /tmp/005MG8
  -rw------- 1 pang pang 34930 2010-05-20 11:13 /tmp/00KYxC
  -rw------- 1 pang pang 34930 2010-05-20 11:13 /tmp/00mhUy

  -rw------- 1 pang pang 34930 2010-05-20 11:13 /tmp/042ZX2

  Starting evince from a console produces an enormous amount of
  repeating output:

  some font thing failed
  Error: Found a bad table definition on true type definition, trying to continue...
