On RH9, anyway, this is a consistently reproducible problem (though I don't get the nice message on the console). Just open a document in acroread, press the search button, search for a string you know is not in the document, and watch the fireworks. I just tried with the latest glibc updates and it still fails. My guess (though anything is possible) is that Adobe needs to fix this one. See http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?50@[email protected]. and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104363. Apparently, it's RH7.3, 8, 9, and now FC1, and acroread 5.06, 7, and 8. Not surprisingly, RH won't fix Adobe proprietary code. It doesn't look like Adobe's bug tracking process is very open 8^(. > > The only other problem I know about is that repeated searching sometimes > gets stuck for some reason.
