Bug#606685: evince segfaults in ppdFindChoice () from /usr/lib/libcups.so.2

Fri Dec 10 22:25:47 UTC 2010

Package: evince
Version: 2.22.2-4~lenny1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello, evince segfaults when trying to print PDF files on a network
printer.
It looks to be related to this bug report on Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/660731

Printing a PDF file with a KDE application works fine.
Printing (not a PDF file) with another gnome application works fine
also.

I did a few tracing with gdb (after having installed evince-dbg). Here
it is below.

Cheers
Damien
