That suggests to me that the problem is actually in linux_base, rather
than acroread4. Certainly, I can't reproduce the symptoms you
describe with the combination of linux_base-7.1 and either
acroread-4.05 or acroread-5.05. Do you have any other linux packages
installed, and do they show similar effects?
pkg_info -R linux_base\*

You would expect any software to behave sensibly whatever the locale
settings are. If you specify a locale that isn't supported the
program should report the fact and substitute one that does, or else
print out some reasonable explanation and exit gracefully.

Neither am I, now. I'd be thinking along the lines of doing a
complete deletion and reinstall of linux_base-7.1:
tar -zcvf /tmp/compat-linux-backup.tgz \
/compat/linux /var/db/pkg/linux_base-7.1
pkg_delete -f linux_base-7.1
cd /compat
rm -rf linux
cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base
make install
I'm guessing that there might be remnants of the old linux_base
around, fouling things up.
Cheers,
Matthew
