Public bug reported:

Evince crashes when opening the same pdf file repeatedly and thereby
refreshing the view on this file.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get a PDF file. For example 
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/pdfaccess.pdf works.
2. Open a terminal
3. Type in:
$ evince pdfaccess.pdf &

4. Watch evince start and load the PDF-file. Switch focus back to the
terminal and go back to Step 3 and repeat.

When doing Step 3 like 25 times, evince eventually crashes with
"Segmentation fault".

Curiously, on my system for this PDF, exactly 25 repetitions are needed.
For different PDF files, e.g. only 7 repetitions are needed, but for each file 
the number of repetitions needed stays constant.

This is Ubuntu Hardy with Evince 2.22.2
