Package: evince
Version: 2.26.1-2
Severity: important



When opening a dvi file created from a latex source with latex compiler, evince reports the following:
GPL Ghostscript 8.64: ./psi/iinit.c(98): initial_enter failed (-7), entering /MaxBitmap in -dict:10/1123-
GPL Ghostscript 8.64: Initialization file gs_init.ps does not begin with an integer.
fatal internal error -100Segmentation fault

and exits. If I try to open the eps created from this dvi with dvips, everything works.
