A publicly accessible .pdf that triggers this error:
http://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/pdf/irbookonlinereading.pdf .  Note:
this document will probably be updated in place, and redistribution is
not permitted, so this is potentially a time-limited example.

The problem area is on page 59.

Viewing this page in 'fit page width' mode with a small window yields a
lot of "Error: Bad bounding box in Type 3 glyph" messages.  Slowly
increasing the window size causes evince to exit with the message "Out
of memory".  Maximizing the window or scrolling to page 59 in a large or
maximized window causes evince to exit with the message "Bogus memory
allocation size"

See attached gdb backtrace from a breakpoint on exit().  T3FontCache()
in libpoppler calls gmallocn(8,284192164).

(Note: Trace is not from an ubuntu install.  Versions: evince-2.22.0,
poppler-0.6.1 )
