Bug#416317: evince: Thumbnailer hangs on PS files

[Sven Arvidsson]

Package: evince
Version: 0.8.0-1
Severity: normal

The thumbnailer for PS files does not seem to work. When invoked
manually it seems to hang.

strace only reveals this,
futex(0x80b5f8c, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL <unfinished ...>

I tried with a few different files, none gave me a thumbnail, but all
of them rendered fine when opened with evince.
