It's probably related to #762719, but I'd guess instead of a password
protected PDF, it's due to some other recently used bad file. If you
still have this problem, can you try to clear the recently used list by:
mv ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel ~/
And see if that fixes it? And if it does fix it, go through
recently-used.xbel to see if you can find which document crashes evince?
