A stack trace from this core file might be helpful, but if everything else is working you will probably be better off with a more recent pdftex version -- see below. > [...] > > The only other thing I can think of is to attach texmf.cnf to this mail, > but it's long and I did not modify it at all, so I won't do that. > > So, I hope that I've included enough information to allow you clever people > to deduce what is going wrong. > > If you think that the solution is to recompile pdftex with a patch, I have > gcc 2.95.2, and would be willing to upload the resulting binary if you > wanted it. > I can also do other small debugging tasks, if it would lead to a faster > resolution of this problem.

The version of pdftex (13d) in teTeX 1.0 should probably be updated even on systems where it runs. Look in: ftp://ftp.muni.cz/pub/tex/local/cstug/thanh/pdftex/ where you will see version 14f. You can update just the pdftex and pdfetex binaries using the sources from this site without building the entire distribution. -- George White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Halifax, Nova Scotia
