Evince fails to render the PDF

http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/~jamesm/downloads/test-file-broken-in-evince.pdf

properly. This PDF is rendered properly by Xpdf.

The behaviour changes every time the file is reloaded. Very occasionally it
is rendered properly but it usually has black horizontal bars on it or
something similar.

I see this behaviour regularly when evince has to render an image in a PDF
page which itself came from a PDF.

Another example, which may provide hints as to what is going on, can be seen
in these two screenshots of the same page in a PDF (I just reloaded the file
multiple times until I got the two very different results):

http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/~jamesm/downloads/correct-image-in-pdf.png

http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/~jamesm/downloads/reverse-image-in-pdf.png

In the reverse-image-in-pdf screenshot the text can still be made out but
it is slanted the wrong way - in fact, it looks to me like a skew to the
image of some sort...maybe that will provide a clue to someone on what is
going wrong in the image display code.

If I can be of any more help (providing example files, more detail) please
just ask.

Thank you
James
