Re: Poppler error: "floating point exception" (lenny)

Hello,

I am getting a "floating point exception" error message from Evince when
opening some PDF files (a sample is linked bellow). The file gets opened
but as soon as I'm reading pages (page 1, page 2, page 3...), at some
point Evince closes by itself. When running Evince from command line, as
soon as it breaks, I can see the above mentioned error.

Sample error (PDF, ~3.1 MiB):
http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG7531-MUL.PDF

(I have tested with other PDF files from Panasonic site and they just
crash in the same manner).

The GIMP gives the same error:

***
sm01@stt008:~/Desktop$ gimp KXTG7531-MUL.PDF
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/poppler: fatal error: Floating point exception
***

Can someone please confirm this problem?

I have tried both Evince and the GIMP.

Evince was fine started from the GUI. When started from the CLI it was fine at
first, but around the 6th page I looked at it crashed thus:

lisi@Tux:~$ evince KXTG7531-MUL.PDF
Floating point exception
lisi@Tux:~$

The GIMP failed, but with a different error message from that you got, which
was the same both when started from the GUI and when started from the CLI. A
box came up saying:

GIMP Message
Opening 'home/lisi/KXTG7531-MUL.PDF' failed: Portable Document Format plug-In
could not open image.
