Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

steps to reproduce:

1. open 
http://www.physik.tu-muenchen.de/lehrstuehle/T39/T39_files/Lectures_files/QuantumMechanics2007/QM07_Kap7.pdf
2. add "zoom in" and "zoom out" buttons to your toolbar (i'm not sure if this 
is really needed, but I reproduced the problem in this way)
3. switch on continous-mode
4. scroll (slowly) to the bottom of the document
5. click on "zoom in" till zoom level reaches 200 %
6. scroll (slowly) to the top of the document

result:
evince consumes about 1,5 GB vm-memory (600 mb writeable).
system becomes very slow.

If the steps do not work for you, try zooming in and out again.
I verified this with compiz running, 1 GB physical RAM, 2 GB swap.
