eLiNK has found the causes the crash in issue #39. Please see this message below:

> I believe I found the source of the problem.
> All of the files I tried to open contained some of the german specific letters (like ä,ö,ü, and ß).
> As soon as I renamed one of the files (e.g. Strauß.djvu -> Strauss.djvu), I can open djvu files as well.

If I run kindlepdfviewer from ssh, everything goes fine. But when I run it with launchpad, it crashes when trying to open a djvu file from file browser.

I guess this bug might affect file name with characters from other languages as well. Just checked with Chinese file name and it crashes too.

Pdfs are not affected though.
