Title:
  Upon opening some pdf-files Evince causes the PC to freeze completely

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After opening couple dozen pdf files one after another (closing
  previous before) a random pdf caused the whole system to freeze,
  totally. Had to force shutdown from the power button, losing all my
  work. After boot the same document opens fine. The unpredictability of
  which pdf file will freeze the system next makes using Evince a bad
  gamble.
