elfring@Sonne:~> gdb acroread GNU gdb 6.8 [...] This GDB was configured as "x86_64-suse-linux"... "/usr/bin/acroread": not in executable format: File format not recognized

Why I am not so lucky here?

/usr/bin/acroread is a shell script, not the binary. To use gdb you can try the following: 1) start acroread 2) attach gdb to the running acroread with gdb -p $(pidof acroread) 3) reproduce the crash Probably that won’t help much though because of lack of debug information in the binary files. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I attached the debugger to the running process this time where I continued the execution. I could switch to the tab "Fonts" in the dialogue "Document Properties" (Strg+D). But the GUI control "Fonts Used in this Document" remained empty while the status "Gathering font information... (0%)" was displayed. I have got the following details on the command line.
