Title:
  evince and evince-thumbnailer stuck with high cpu load

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Both evince and evince-thumbnailer get stuck with high CPU load when
  trying to open a DVI file with embedded EPS images. The DVI is output
  from latex. Very annoying as evince-thumbnailer is triggered
  automatically in the background every time the DVI file changes.

  This is a regression as it was working fine just two days ago with
  14.04 before the update.
