Package: evince-gtk
Version: 3.14.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #770673
Dear Maintainer,
evince may segfault if the the PDF file is rewritten while evince is
viewing it. This happens e.g. with beamer presentations.
The system log contains different crash messages:
> evince[1614]: segfault at 4d00000066 ip 00007f358f235d87 sp 00007ffff6436450
> error 4 in libatk-1.0.so.0.21409.1[7f358f226000+23000]

It happens only if the PDF file is rewritten to contain fewer slides
than the old one, AND if evince is currently showing a page which
ceased to exist.
To reproduce (not fully reliable, seems timing-dependent):
- create test.tex [1]
- run "pdflatex test.tex"
- open test.pdf in evince
- scroll down to e.g. slide 7
- change test.tex [2]
- run "pdflatex test.tex"
- evince should segfault
