Hello,

I'm experiencing segfaults with Xpdf 3.02pl3 when turning to page 2 of
the following, freely downloadable, 1.8MB document:

<ftp://ftp.slackbook.org/pub/slackbook/slackbook-2.0.pdf>

The crash only takes place when the zoom factor is greater than 125%.

I thought I'd ask, before contacting the developers, if anyone can
confirm or disprove my findings.

TIA!

Seems to work fine here with 3.02 under Ubuntu Hardy.

That's a known bug related to empty pages in continuous view mode.
(Empty meaning they have no content stream object at all.)

It will be fixed in the next release.
