Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

evince './ACTInc_Quote#1722076.2.pdf'  works
evince '/net/llama/home/peter/ACTInc_Quote#1722076.2.pdf' pops up a dialog that 
says

  Unable to open document
  The local file URI 
'file:/tmp/evince-8626/document-0-ACTInc_Quote#1722076.2.pdf' may not include a 
'#'

It has copied the file to file to it's /tmp directory with a changed
filename.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cmp  '/net/llama/home/peter/ACTInc_Quote#1722076.2.pdf' 
/tmp/evince-8626/document-0-ACTInc_Quote 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $?
0

 The copying seems kind of unnecessary.  If I give a program a path in
/net, I expect it to access it the same as a path in /home.  In this
case, my PDF is tiny, so it didn't matter whether it was cached or not.
But maybe there should be a URI other than file:/ that means to cache to
/tmp.  If I wanted files pre-cached, I'd go find a FUSE filesystem that
did that, or something.
