I would point out that the reporter states (in the bug description) "Launching evince from the command line without specifying a file also crashes".
This means that the problem is not related to any pdf file, so asking for an upload is perfectly unuseful. Please correct me if I'm wrong. As I experience the same bug (evince crash with segfault, even if I don't open any file), I can provide more information if something could help to solve it. Invoking evince from the command line suddenly crashes, but for example evince --version evince --help both work. Also please tell me if I better open a new bug.
