gnome-pdf-viewer 2.10.0-r1 hangs when clicking on a hyperlink.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

2.  Click on it.
3.

Actual Results:  
application hangs.

Opened link in default browser

I've seen a few entries for this upstream in the GNOME bugzilla so it's a known
issue, but there didn't seem to be any solutions to it.

pdf with hyperlinks that crashes gpdf.

I've managed to hang gnome-pdf-viewer with other pdf files, but I've uploaded
this for completeness.

I don't think this is going to be resolved. Evince is the default viewer of choice now, making gpdf obsolete.
