Evince no longer crashes when opening manual.dvi, so I'm closing this
bug. However, the file cannot be opened (which itself is a separate bug;
please file a new bug report for that).
(I tested this with Evince 2.30.3-0ubuntu1.1 on Lucid.)
** Attachment added: Screenshot of Evince not crashing
I noticed the same behaviour reported by Lucian:
- evince crashes when opening DVI without Valgrind;
- it displays fine when slowly opening DVI using Valgrind;

There's some kind of heisenbug here.
I ran evince on http://paultaylor.eu/diagrams/manual.dvi (downloaded it
beforehand) and it crashed.
I then ran
G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck
--leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valgrind.log evince
These are the logs from running evince through valgrind the first time.
