evince simply crash on the attached ps file (need to zoom to 400%). Call stack is:

Dear Maintainer,

The segfaults happen in all the cases (start from the terminal or from the graphical menu). The problem is remains only if the file is postscript while the same file pdf does not give problems. So I can overcome the difficulty if I change the format of the graphic with ps2pdf.
The command dmesg show the following message

[13803.307651] evince[5374]: segfault at 7f5c85737cd0 ip 00007f5ca85443f5 sp 00007ffcf23e8780 error 4 in libpixman-1.so.0.32.6[7f5ca84f3000+a5000]

Thank you

I have the same problem with PDF files that are being worked on (so they get updated).  In case it helps, here is the last lines of `strace`:

I ran evince under gdb and the following happened (after a couple of days):
