[Bug 913700] [NEW] cannot open any pdf document with evince

 

Public bug reported:


binary: /usr/bin/evince
ubuntu version: 11.04
evince version: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.3

expectation:
when opening a pdf file from evince, pdf pages are displayed in the evince application

problem:
when trying to open any pdf file with evince, the evince program raises cpu usage to 96% of a single CPU and displays empty pages only.

to further test: 
1- i have installed a vmware virtual machine (on the same ubuntu host) running the same os (ubuntu 11.04), providing access to the same files that failed opening: it opens same file with no problem.
2- i installed adobe's acrobat reader on same host: it opens same file with no problem
