Research direction

Start by inspecting the attached crash dump, crash.tar.gz, and determine whether the reported failure can be reproduced with the affected PDF. Compare behavior using xreader 4.2.2 on Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon; done means the specific PDF opens and its contents display without a crash.
