Package: gv
Version: 1:3.6.2-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

when opening the attached PDF in xpdf or acroread, an empty page is
displayed. When opening it in gv, it seems like all memory is consumed;
the machine stops responding and I can see that the HD is busy all the
time. My interpretation is that it's swapping madly, but I have no
proof. If I interrupt gv early enough, I can still recover, but on one
occasion I just did a hard reset after waiting for >10 minutes.

IIRC the file was created by inkscape's PDF export, but I'm not entirely
sure. (It may also have been OpenOffice.)

Cheers,

  Richard
