Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdegraphics
1. Open a large DVI file with Okular (see an example of LaTeX source file
bellow)
2. Compile the tex file
3. Okular crashes when refresh under certain conditions.
At a certain point during the compilation, Okular remarks that the DVI is being
changed. So it empty the content of the DVI being on screen (normal bahaviour).
At that point, if the LaTeX compilation still stand some seconds, Okular
crashes.
I can reproduce the bug "at will" with the following trick :
------ Structure of a LaTeX file -----------
<Big LaTeX document (around 70 pages)>
\input{foo.tex}
\end{document}
------------ end -----------------
I suppose that the "big file" is just enough in order Okular to set
itself in a "waiting" mode.
\input produces an error which stops the compilation until I react.
If I react sufficiently rapidly, no crash.
If I leave some seconds without answering, Okular crashes.
It seems to be really a matter of TIME between the moment Okular sees
that the DVI is being changed and the moment where the DVI is actually
finished.
An actual example which produces the crash 100% of time.

BTW : if I launch Okular in the terminal, I get "core dumped". Where can
I find the core file ?
