No linux application does this, it's the kernel. It tries with the =20 compat path first and then with the normal path. I don't know why it =20 does not work in acroread, I never investigated this issue. An =20 application should not be able to know if the command is from compat =20 or not. I'm a little bit puzzled, but not puzzled enough to =20 investigate further. Maybe Roman wants to have a look at it as part of =20 his SoC 2007 work... :) > cat man du : where Unix geeks go when they die ROTFL...
