Description of problem: Evince randomly crashes when opening a file, displaying a page, scrolling, or resizing. The exact same operation sometimes succeeds and sometimes not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-2.32.0-3.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Sometimes. Unpredictable. Steps to Reproduce: 1A. Open a PDF file. 1B. Or scroll up and down in a large PDF document with the right scrollbar. Actual results: Occasional crash, e.g.: *** glibc detected *** evince: double free or corruption (!prev): or *** glibc detected *** evince: malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: Expected results: No crash, of course. Additional info: There are plenty of backtraces posted on bugzilla already.
Hi Vlado, could you attach here any of those PDFs with which evince crashes? Could you also point me to a bug with a backtrace showing the crash? Regards Marek

I am experiencing problems with virtually all PDFs. I have attached the smallest file I have on the disk. I've got a crash after about 8 open attempts. There are backtraces in bugs 671144, 670448, 670038, 670002, 669871, 668333 to name a few. I don't know if and how are all those evince crashes related with each other, but I'm sure it crashes a lot.

Created attachment 476532 [details] Program output, a string of repeated crashes. I hope the attached file is helpful. If more information is needed, I will provide it if possible.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
