On a 32- bit Intel system, the 12.04 (LTS) version of xpdf crashes. Imho, there should be a fix for the LTS-version, but I would be interested in workarounds (beside using evince or something) too.
Opening xpdf without any file works, but opening a file - any pdf-File - and Segfault (isn't this a serious security issue? Shouldn't every program be sanitized against segfaulting?). Here is my strace-output: <pre> execve("/usr/bin/xpdf", ["xpdf", "Downloads/GFP-ENAU.pdf"], [/* 45 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8377000 access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) mmap2(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7739000 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=62852, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 62852, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xb7729000 close(3) = 0 access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0000\226\1\0004\0\0\0"..., 512) = 512 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1730024, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 1743580, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0x22e000 mprotect(0x3d1000, 4096, PROT_NONE) = 0 mmap2(0x3d2000, 12288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x1a3) = 0x3d2000 mmap2(0x3d5000, 10972, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x3d5000 close(3) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7728000 set_thread_area({entry_number:-1 -> 6, base_addr:0xb7728900, limit:1048575, seg_32bit:1, contents:0, read_exec_only:0, limit_in_pages:1, seg_not_present:0, useable:1}) = 0 mprotect(0x3d2000, 8192, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0x8060000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0x5da000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 munmap(0xb7729000, 62852) = 0 getpid() = 14899 rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, {0x8056220, ~[RTMIN RT_1], 0}, NULL, 8) = 0 geteuid32() = 1000 brk(0) = 0x8377000 brk(0x8398000) = 0x8398000 getppid() = 14898 stat64("/home/stefan", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=8152, ...}) = 0 stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=8152, ...}) = 0 open("/usr/bin/xpdf", O_RDONLY) = 3 fcntl64(3, F_DUPFD, 10) = 10 close(3) = 0 fcntl64(10, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, NULL, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8056220, ~[RTMIN RT_1], 0}, NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGQUIT, NULL, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGQUIT, {SIG_DFL, ~[RTMIN RT_1], 0}, NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGTERM, NULL, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 8) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGTERM, {SIG_DFL, ~[RTMIN RT_1], 0}, NULL, 8) = 0 read(10, "#!/bin/sh\n# Copyright (c) 2001 A"..., 8192) = 2138 stat64("Downloads/GFP-ENAU.pdf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=875189, ...}) = 0 pipe([3, 4]) = 0 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0xb7728968) = 14900 close(4) = 0 read(3, "/tmp/file9qVP0X.pdf\n", 128) = 20 read(3, "", 128) = 0 close(3) = 0 wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 14900 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- sigreturn() = ?
