The embedded font object in that PDF file contains a reference to an
object which is supposed to be a font file stream, but in fact doesn't
exist.  (I.e., the PDF file is broken.)

Xpdf was missing an error check, which was causing the segfault.  That
will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks for the bug report.
