Dear OpenBSD users,
I am running OpenBSD 6.2 i386 on ThinkPad R52. The system has been
complaining "iwi0: fatal firmware error" in the past two or three

The problem can usually be worked around by "ifconfig iwi0 -inet

evince file size is +-10x smaller than mupdf.
Most probably your "lightweight" point of view is not linked to the file size.
