Bug#559873: reports slews of "Bogus memory allocation size" errors to stderr



Package: okular
Version: 4:4.3.2-1
Severity: minor

Many PDFs that I open with okular cause hundreds of lines "Bogus
memory allocation size" printed to stderr. This messes up the
display of programmes like mutt or mc, and fills ~/.xsession-errors.

Instead of reporting a memory allocation error, okular should
probably just handle the situation. It's not like this is of
interest to the user.

Unfortunately, I do not (yet) have a PDF that elicits this
behaviour, which I can share. I will update the report as soon as
I come across one.
