Hi Hartmut,
the version of xpdf provided by Gentoo Linux (linked against poppler)
shows the same error messages as above.
I just compiled a native xpdf-3.02 (without applying the patches) and
it welcomed me with a core dump.
Are both of your versions linked against poppler? I have the
impression that there is a problem with xpdf itself which had been
fixed by Linux distributors or poppler developers.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
