I've seen that too. It only occurs when using the viewer in stand-alone
mode (which never happens during normal usage). Guess it's a double-free
of a CORBA Exception. I'll fix it for the next release.

Alright, this sounds like you are seeing the same thing as I.
It actually works fine, it's just that the component has a fixed

to compile gpdf yourself, please report back on how it works.
