Package: evince
Version: 2.22.2-4~lenny1
Severity: normal

This problem occurs when viewing the PDF file available from the following
location:

   http://www.michigan.gov/documents/wedmk_16312_7.pdf

If I run "evince wedmk_16312_7.pdf", close Evince, and do that repeatedly, every
so often the first page shown exhibits corruption, such as missing images, images
only partly loaded, or paragraphs cut half way down. Evince spits out messages
like these:

   Error (1378469): Unexpected end of file in flate stream
   Error (6705): Illegal character ')'
   Error (6753): Illegal character ')'
   Error (6874): Unexpected end of file in flate stream
   Error: Unterminated string
   Error: End of file inside array
   Error: End of file inside array
   Error: End of file inside array
   Error: End of file inside array
   Error: Leftover args in content stream

   Error (1378469): Unexpected end of file in flate stream

   Corrupt JPEG data: bad Huffman code

   Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment
   Error (1378469): Unexpected end of file in flate stream
   Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segments

The problem occurs more frequently when Evince starts at a very low zoom level,
so that it is showing a dozen or so pages at once. Whether or not the system is
heavily loaded does not seem to make a difference. I can attach screenshots
showing the corruption if desired.
