I got exactly the same problem.
Started when poppler got updated from 0.6.4-1ubuntu1 to 0.6.4-1ubuntu2.

Example: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/LaTeX/Examples/mathfanBasics.tex

Install "texlive-latex-base".
Run "pdflatex mathfanBasics.tex".
Run "evince mathfanBasics.pdf".

Do the following repeatedly until crash:
Run "pdflatex mathfanBasics.tex".
Switch to evince and press Ctrl-R (Reload).

Works every time. ;)

This is really annoying.
What do I have to do to get it into the updates?
Test the debdiff?
Or is everything taken care of already? :-)

I worked a lot with pdflatex yesterday, and evince crashed a lot. Now I updated to the new poppler packages, and evince didn't crash a single time so far.

However, since this is a bit undefined to reproduce, I'll wait for a second positive feedback until I chalk this off as verified.

Judging from 0.10.4-2ubuntu1 in Ubuntu 9.04 Beta, this is fixed (and I've not encountered the bug for a looong time).
