Thank you very much Lauri, that worked like a champ. But why does
it seem to be such a huge secret other than its ulitmately being
usefull to the blackhats?

I assume that this command line (the top line above) can be used
against any other known good (we think) but similarly malfunctioning
(the bottom line above) program?

Yes, if you are sure that's the malfunction. The binary NVIDIA
driver's GLX and VMWare Workstation are the other examples I know of.
Are there others?

That question is rhetorical I assume as we won't know till it bites us
again if there are any others. But it does tend to show just how much
committment Adobe has in supporting linux. Their test box is probably
still running rh6.1...

Gene, how is Adobe responsible for a problem caused by Red Hat /
Fedora Core developers? You are using essentially the same version of
Acrobat Reader that worked without problems for Fedora Core 4. It is
not Adobe's fault that the Red Hat / Fedora Core implementers of
SELinux changed the rules after Acrobat Reader 7 was released. If you
have a bone to pick, take it up with the responsible party.
