Package: evince
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: normal

Evince does not display some postscript documents that work fine with
e.g. gv. Here is one example:

  http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~grohe/pub/lics97-full.ps

Evince attemtps to open the document, but does not get beyond the
"Loading ..." message on the blank pages. On the console I get the
following error message:
