I have recently been hit by this bug on Gutsy.

Opening http://www.foxkeh.com/downloads/history/history-foxkeh.pdf
resulted in 600MB memory usage in "Best Fit" zoom level (about 70%),
little did I know that trying to zoom in to 400% to get a closeup of one
of the images would result in Evince consuming all 1GB of my memory and
2.5GB of my swap, grinding my system to a halt to the point of me
needing to cut the power.

Yes. Ouch.
