Backtrace and libgs version, please.
I managed to reproduce this running KDE SVN (revision 792359) using libgs version 8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-0ubuntu3.3 on Kubuntu 7.10. I'll attach a backtrace. Opening the file, switching to the "Fit width" view mode and maximising/restoring Okular caused the crash. I found this bug report because I found a similar behaviour when opening the GSL manual, available at http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/gsl-ref.ps.gz and scrolling forward a few pages. This also made Okular crash, the backtrace looked similar. That might be an issue related to Debian/Ubuntu-specific modifications to libgs though, see http://tsdgeos.blogspot.com/2007/11/okular-libgs-and-crashes-on-debian-and.html

@comment #3: Cannot reproduce the crash with both: - Okular 0.6.3 and (vanilla) libgs 8.57 - Okular 0.6.80 and (Debian's) libgs 8.62 and libspectre 0.2.0
It looks like this really is related to the too old Debian/Ubuntu-specific libgs then. This bug should probably be closed (or marked as a duplicate of bug #155674, because this seems to have the same origin) by someone who can do this.
@comment #6: looks like you are forgetting about the reporter. I want to know more info from him.
Hao, any news about this crash?
No futher news from the reporter in the last 7 months, and the crash analysis in comment #3 and #6 look correct, so assuming it was not an Okular problem. Please reopen if there are further useful information.
