xpdf should get removed from Ubuntu. There is no point in delivering an entirely unusable binary package that just crashes, and it may well be a security risk. It also makes it harder to actually find the last working version of xpdf to install when Ubuntu delivers a non-crashing xpdf only one

This bug is more than a year ago. I would think it most likely that I was working on some self-compiled version of LilyPond (it is a C++/Guile combination, where Guile is a Scheme interpreter using a conservative garbage collector). I don't think that the debugged binary was overly relevant in
