Bug#582049: evince: segfaults on certain DVI files embedding EPS

[brian m. carlson]

Package: evince
Version: 2.30.1-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/evince

evince repeatedly crashes on a certain DVI file, which is attached.
Sometimes it crashes within the glibc memory code.  When run under
Electric Fence, it causes an "Internal error in allocator."  If you
would like to have the source .tex, please let me know.

If the .eps file is moved out of the way, evince renders the .dvi file
just fine, albeit without the logo.

xdvi has no problems with the .dvi in question.
