I'm not able to reproduce the problem, I can read the file you sent
without trouble, albeit pretty slowly.  It takes about ~15s to go to the
next page, during which time I see (in top) Emacs' memory usage go up,
but it goes back down again after the page is displayed.  Perhaps the
imagemagick version is the problem?

By the way (sorry I forgot to suggest this before asking you to retest)
if you use ulimit to cap virtual mem at say 2GB 'ulimit -v $((2 * 1024
1024))' does Emacs give you an out of memory error instead of crashing
your system?
