Bug Description

Impact: that's one the frequent segfaults reported on errors.ubuntu.com

Test case: there is no known way to trigger the issue easily, just make sure evince has no new issue and check the reported bug stats

Regression potential: the fix is dropping a g_free call, if it creates any issue it will be a leak of the resource that was freed before
