Bug#336807: xdvi: crashes with (breaklinks) hyperrefs

[Robert Hart <enxrah@nottingham.ac.uk>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-10.1
Severity: normal


I have experience srgfaults with xdvi on a file containing
hyperrefs. The page that causes the crash contains a (landscape)
table, which happens to contain links (but I don't believe they are
part of the problem. The following page starts with a hyperlink (due
to a \cite). I'm guessing that this link has been broken across
several pages (due to the floatpage in between.

I reported this bug to xdvik-ja (as that is where I discovered it) but
it applies to tetex-bin's version too. See bug 336783, for debugging
info, which I hope is relevant to the tetex codebase too.
