I believe gpdf has been depercated in favour of evince but looking at page 13 on my machine causes evince to go into a CPU hogging loop:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download http://www.mises.org/etexts/cwik-dissertation.pdf
2. Open the downloaded file in evince .
3. Type 13 in the page box at the top of the window and press return.

Expected results:
Page 13 to be displayed after a few seconds.

Actual results:
Evince goes to page 13 but continues to display it Loading... message while chewing up all the CPU it can get for minutes on end.

Additional information:
acroread displays the page incrementally and after 5 seconds the entire page is finished.
