Thanks for looking at this bug report.
While this crash looks similar, and all the other problematic RFC
documents still crash the evince version in 18.04, there is another
report of issues with this specific file on an IETF mailing list:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tools-discuss/hgenvnKeP9zX-
IBX5FyD6zyEkmI
There it is reported that evince versions 3.30.2 and 3.36.5 cannot open
_this_ file (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8798.pdf). Since the
evince in 19.10 that supposedly fixes the issue in bug #1849888 is
3.34.1-1, this bug is with a high probability _not_ a duplicate of said
bug. It probably is related, but not the same.
And while initially all new format RFCs crashed evince, in the interim
many additional new format RFCs have been published, and not all of them
crash evince, not even the version in 18.04.
Looking at the evince versions in 20.04 (3.36.0-2) and the in-
development "groovy" (3.36.5-2), this issue may well affect all the
bleeding edge Ubuntu versions as well, opposed to #1849888.
Thus I do think that this bug is distinct from #1849888 and not a
duplicate.
Thanks,
Erik
