Oh! It's an f.d.o. project, not gnome as I mis-guessed. I eventually found a report there, and it looks like it's been fixed in the trunk this month. I can't tell if a release may be upcoming, or if Ubuntu may want to incorporate this, sooner.
The patch does indeed rewrite this code, rather than just changing the operator: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=2f1d6b27e8b78c77346a5b603114b54400e57d83 Haven't tested the new version against this PDF yet; I'll try to. Dave - thanks again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030357 Title: crash with SIGSEGV in cairo, when evince tries to print this PDF file Status in Cairo Graphics Library: Unknown Status in “cairo” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “cairo” package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: While I was testing for a different bug, I found a PDF that evince consistently crashes on, when asked to print. The crash turns out to be in the cairo library. To reproduce: 1) Open Prepaid-eng.pdf with evince. 2) Select Print from the File menu. 3) Hit Print or Print Preview. Evince will put up a progress bar, getting up to 'printing page14 of 14'. Then evince will disappear and dump core.
