Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ghostscript

If gv is invoked on certain PDF files, a ghostscript crash occurs.
However if pdf2ps is run on the offending PDF, the resulting postscript
file -can- be displayed by gv.

Attached is an example PDF which works with acroread.  When fed to gv,
the following appears in a pink "Ghostscript messages" window:
