I am trying to use acroread 9.5.5 only for its ability to display
animations. If I run:

$ ACRODEBUG=1 ACRO_CRASHLOG=1 acroread

and then try to open a file (or include the filename on the command line),
I simply get "Segmentation fault". If I try

$ acroread -DEBUG acroread

I get:

Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/Annots.api ...
[dlopen success for Annots.ap940]
Loading PlugIn /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/EScript.api
... [dlopen success for EScript.api, handle = 0xc60bf80]
Crashlog has been dumped in /tmp/acroCrashLogs/0212_2024_DKRaHb

where the contents of the crashlog is

/opt/bin/acroread [0x850ab41] [@0x8048000]
linux-gate.so.1(__kernel_sigreturn+0x0) [0xb77cd400] [@0xb77cd000]

I noticed a bug concerning the use of glibc-2.18, but I am using 2.17. I've
run 'emerge @preserved-rebuild', nothing was built. I got a confirmation
from someone on IRC about a working, standard setup, so I'm asking here
rather than on the Adobe forums.

Help!
