I think I did, I've scrolled as far as page 52 now with no problems.

Got to page 50 on this one too, still no problems. Could it be version
or USE flag dependent?

% emerge -pv kpdf

[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kpdf-3.5.10  USE="-debug" 0 kB

OK, that rules out USE flags, but it may be worth trying it
with debug enabled.
