Summary:                    Segmentation Fault on a specific document
Description: 
I recently ran across a pdf document that causes xpdf to issue a
Segmentation Fault.  The document is located at:

        http://mises.org/books/historynot.pdf
  
It loads fine into xpdf, but it consistently crashes as you step forward,
usually on the 5th page or try to click on the Preface link.  There is no
similar problem when using a current version of acroread.

I reported this to Glyph and Cog, but thought I would mention it here in
case it turns out to be a Solaris/SPARC specific problem.

I just installed the latest xpdf package from testing (3.02,REV=2009.07.17)
and then tried it on this document, and it performs as I reported above,
crashing when I click on the Preface link or paging forward between pages 5
and 6.  This is on a SPARC Solaris 10 machine.
