Public bug reported:

Package: evince
Version: 3.34.1-1

In the up-to-date Ubuntu 19.10 "eoan", Evince crashes when searching in
a particular long PDF file.  I open the file, press Ctrl+F to open a
search string box, and type in some string that occurs in the document.
Then, Evince starts searching, jumps to the first occurrence, and
displays a thin progress bar while continuing searching.  Evince doesn't
terminate: about the middle of the search process, evince crashes:

$ evince <filename>.pdf
munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer
Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

Unfortunately, I cannot share my PDF file due to legal reasons.
However, the two files mentioned in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/1250 would do:

- https://www.jaapsch.net/psion/pdffiles/hd6301-3_handbook.pdf
- https://www.people.vcu.edu/~rhammack/BookOfProof/Main.pdf

Searching for "the" (without the quotation marks) in any of these
documents reproducibly crashes them.  Here is the xterm contents on
these occasions:

I cannot debug Evince myself (and a package such as evince-dbg seems to be 
unavailable anyway) and would therefore kindly ask the Ubuntu folks to attract 
the attention of the developers to this issue (or bugfix it or update Evince if 
a solution is already available).
