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...

let's give them credit for providing acrobat reader for Linux. Not all
Linux distributions use SELinux and I think that Fedora is pretty much
out in front for SELinux development.

Agreed, and so far it hasn't bothered me till now, which I really do
think speaks well for it overall.

The problem is that Fedora can't fix 3rd party software but the 3rd
parties that produce software which butts into SELinux issues must get
feedback so they can fix it.

Which is why I submitted a bug report at Adobe per your request. Thanks
for the prompt, it hadn't occured to me yet, & might not ever have
without a small kick in the gitalong.
