Description Unknown 2009-11-08 12:29:08 UTC
Version:           svn ~ nov (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Visit http://www.freak-computer.de/

This is just a computer shop in Berlin.

Click on "O2 Update" in the right top side of the website to view the catalog.

Click on "Alle 24-seiten Komplett" {translation: view all 24 pages}

it will download the PDF (6.7M: FreakComputer_Update7.0.pdf). Save it to hard disk. 
Try to open the file: okular FreakComputer_Update7.0.pdf
The whole machine freezes. Hard disk is churning for ever... 

I cannot believe a small PDF can hijack the machine...

many thanks,
Karthik

The link for those of us not using flash player is http://www.freak-computer.de/updates/7.0/FreakComputer_Update7.0.pdf

If you can't believe that a pdf kills your machine is because you don't know much about computers and software, i can write a 3 lines program that kills your machine easily so think what a program that understands PDF can do.

On the other hand i've dowloaded that file and it works perfectly here, just takes a while to render.

How much memory does you computer have? At which zoom level are you seeing the pdf?

This crash report is at least 3 years old and there were no further comments or status updates since then.

Therefore we believe that this crash is already fixed in recent KDE 4 versions or the backtrace is no longer applicable to the current KDE 4 sources.

If the crash still happens with a recent KDE version (4.10.5 or 4.11), please add an updated backtrace or provide steps to reproduce. For more information, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

(To prevent automatic closing of this bug in the future, please set the bug status to ASSIGNED or CONFIRMED)
