[gutsy] evolution crashes on certain svg icons

Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When using certain icon themes, evolution crashes when I try to do the following:

    * Reply (or reply all) to a message
    * Open the message (by double-clicking on it -- preview window works fine)
    * Open the preferences window

I believe it has something to do with certain SVG files (in particular, scaled/apps/evolution.svg) in my theme, as other themes work correctly with evolution (and in fact, renaming this file out of my theme allows evolution to work correctly as well).

strace log of evolution Edit (142.6 KiB, application/octet-stream)

I've attached the output of strace during the crash. For reference, this is on Ubuntu 7.10 released, using the following versions:

libcairo2 1.4.10-1ubuntu4
evolution 2.12.0-0ubuntu5
evolution-common 2.12.0-0ubuntu5
evolution-data-server 1.12.0-0ubuntu5
evolution-data-server-common 1.12.0-0ubuntu5
evolution-exchange 2.12.0-0ubuntu1
evolution-plugins 2.12.0-0ubuntu5
evolution-webcal 2.12.0-0ubuntu1

GDB reports the following (I'm using a stock evolution compiled without debugging symbols):

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.

An offending icon Edit (12.7 KiB, image/svg+xml)

Here's an icon confirmed to not work. Place it in scalable/apps of whatever icon theme you're using to reproduce this bug.

gdb-evolution.txt Edit (117.6 KiB, text/plain)

I've attached the backtrace. The theme I'm using is gTangish-2.0al, available from http://www.4shared.com/file/21985420/a036aed9/gTangish-20a1tar.html. I've found the problem using gTango 1.0 from gnome-look.org as well (the Human theme is not affected by this).

Official support for Gutsy has ended. If this is still occurring in Ubuntu 12.04 please open a new bug.

Also note that if it is still ocurring on Ubuntu 12.04 it might be fixed upstream in the newly released cairo 1.12.4, as per http://www.cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.12.4/ and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50852
This new version of cairo will probably soon appear in the xorg-edgers PPA available at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
