evince crash

evince is crashing for me trying to view very simple ps files.
I suspect the problem might be an X driver bug because
evince works fine with the same file under a vnc session
on the same computer and works on another fedora 8 box.

Here's the error I get:

evince /tmp/test.ps

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'evince' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 729 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
Abort (core dumped)


I created the ps file from a graphviz file with these contents:
digraph base {
"A"->"B" [ label = "C"]
}

Then I did this:
dot -Tps /tmp/test.dot > /tmp/test.ps

I'm running these versions of evince/Xorg:
evince-2.20.2-1.fc8
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-36.fc8

My smolt profile is here:

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks.
