Bug#506341: kpdf crashes when opening graphically-intensive files

[Martin Unzner <knusperbrot@gmx.de>]

Package: kpdf
Version: 4:3.5.9-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hi,

sometimes when I open certain PDFs (especially, but not only 
when opening directly from Firefox), esp. those with few written text 
and complex graphics, the whole system completely crashes (i.e. doesn't 
react to keyboard and mouse, music player hangs and so on). syslog and 
dmesg don't deliver related information (at least not as far as I could 
figure out), so I have absolutely no clue what is the problem. Can 
someone help me with this?

Thank you in advance for your answer!

Martin Unzner
