When I run xpdf I get the message "Warning: Attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab". The program seems to run in spite of this. I googled for the message, with a number of hits, but none had any suggestion of a solution, or a cause. Developers who introduce warning messages like this should be sentenced to read the complete works of Kim Jong Il.
Oh, come on. I remember a fellow getting the message "Error in source deck." from a programming class way back when (?? ALGOL on in an IBM System/370 ??).

Now that's a utterly useless error message.

Cheers,
Dave
