Hmm, I see now that the crash dump actually says that it is bash that is
running, not acroread.  The acroread startup script invokes a linux bash
to launch the acroread binary, so I guess acroread was actually never
started.

I should also say that I was running KDE.  I can test invoking linux
bash and some other linux utilities without any Xorg+KDE to see what
happens.  I however don't have time today for this.
