>Description:
	acroread dumps core; used to work.
	note: other emulated stuff (ApplixWare, Netscape Navigator,
	      -- Communicator) is unaffected.

	For some or other reason, I seem to have chosen the suse-emul
	flavour:

                suse_base-6.1       Linux compatibility package
                suse_x11-6.1        Linux compatibility package for X11 binaries
                suse_xforms-6.1     Linux compatibility package for xforms binaries
                suse_compat-6.1     Linux compatibility package with old shared libraries
                suse_libc5-6.1      Linux compatibility package for libc5 binaries
                suse_linux-6.1      Linux compatibility package collection

	I'm totally unaware of any pkg update breaking something that
	could be related to this.
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ acroread
>Fix:
	
	Use xpdf instead -- for files that xpdf will accept, and if printing
	is not necessary.
