Summary 0003657: Segmentation Fault on a specific document
Description I recently ran across a pdf document that causes xpdf to issue a Segmentation Fault. The document is located at:

        http://mises.org/books/historynot.pdf [^]
  
It loads fine into xpdf, but it consistently crashes as you step forward,
usually on the 5th page or try to click on the Preface link. There is no
similar problem when using a current version of acroread.

I reported this to Glyph and Cog, but thought I would mention it here in case it turns out to be a Solaris/SPARC specific problem.

Hi,
can you please try to reproduce the crash with the latest build 3.02,REV=2009.07.17, as i am not able to crash the application with the pdf mentioned.

I just installed the latest xpdf package from testing (3.02,REV=2009.07.17) and then tried it on this document, and it performs as I reported above, crashing when I click on the Preface link or paging forward between pages 5 and 6. This is on a SPARC Solaris 10 machine.

Hi,
can you please reproduce the crash with the package found at http://www.opencsw.org/~benny/xpdf-3.02,REV=2009.07.28.16.37-SunOS5.8-sparc-UNCOMMITTED.pkg.gz [^] and send me the resulting core file to benny@opencsw.org. I am unable to produce a crash running on SPARC Solaris 8. In addition please show a ldd `which xpdf` and pmap/pstack of the running xpdf PID?
Thanks in advance.
