Hi,

I get the same segfault when I try to print a file (any file). The
problem seems to be related to bug #658264 and is (probably) caused by
incompatibilities between xpdf and libpoppler. Both xpdf and libpoppler
access the same GlobalParams data structure (created by xpdf). However,
the GlobalParams code used by libpoppler seems to be different (more
recent?) than the code of xpdf. When libpoppler accesses GlobalParams
during printing it reads crap and fails.

The root of the problem seems to be the large portions of duplicated
code in xpdf and libpoppler that get out of sync. Are there any attempts
to fix this (i.e., remove all the obsolete code in xpdf and make use of
libpoppler instead)?


Best regards,
Michael
