Package: xpdf
Version: 3.04-13
Severity: normal

With continuousView enabled by ~/.xpdfrc containing

    include /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc
    continuousView yes

Viewing a medium to large document such as

    xpdf /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/bash.pdf

and paging through it with space or page-down, results in the xpdf
process using apparently ever growing memory, as shown by top or
memstat.  Resulting in thrashing the swap etc etc after a while.

This is a regression over 3.04-12 where continuousView was ok.
"continuousView no" is still ok now.

I like continuousView for the scroll bar giving a visual guide to
document position, and for repositioning to some guessed or proportional
position.
