I am getting a "floating point exception" error message from Evince when
opening some PDF files (a sample is linked bellow). The file gets opened
but as soon as I'm reading pages (page 1, page 2, page 3...), at some
point Evince closes by itself. When running Evince from command line, as
soon as it breaks, I can see the above mentioned error.
My wild guess is that it could have been generated by the latest
"poppler" update¹ because I was not experiencing this issue before. I am
running an updated Lenny (64 bits).

I'm running Debian testing (2.6.32-5-686, fully updated with Evince
2.30.3, GIMP 2.6.10, poppler libraries 0.12.4-1.2). I downloaded and
tested the file with Evince 2.30.3 and didn't have any problems.
(I have tested with other PDF files from Panasonic site and they just
crash in the same manner).
My wild guess is that it could have been generated by the latest
"poppler" update¹ because I was not experiencing this issue before. I am
running an updated Lenny (64 bits).

I can't seem to get the error. Is there anything else about my system
that might be useful to know. Or is there anything that you'd like me
to try at this end? Is your system 32 bit, too -- or is it 64 bit?
Best regards,
Gilbert

Thanks for testing :-)
Yes, it seems the error is only reproducible under Lenny (after reading
your message, I've tested within my two virtual machines, one with a 32-
bits lenny installation and the other with squeeze, also 32 bits). The
lenny one just crashes in the same manner that my main system but in
squeeze the error is not present.

I think the "exception" is happening only in Lenny, in both 32 and 64-
bits.
