Title:
  possible evince memory leak, system unresponsive with high iowait

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
