I got an immediate segmentation fault on some PDF file.

I couldn't reproduce the crash on the same PDF file, so that I suppose
that it is useless to attach it (which is a bit large). This is a PDF
generated by paps piped to ps2pdf (to convert PostScript to PDF).

zathura disables coredumps, which is a bigger issue, since one has
no ideas where it crashes.

Since PDF files often come from untrusted sources, this may be a
security issue. In any case, the code needs to be carefully reviewed.
