Synopsis: acroread4 produces invalid postscript in Danish locale

State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-By: ache
State-Changed-When: Fri Mar 23 13:03:13 PST 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
Apparently acroread uses printf() to print float numbers. Or use period 
character from nl_langinfo() to separate decimals. printf() MUST honor locale 
setting according to both SUSv2 and POSIX. nl_langinfo() supposed to return 
actual information too. In any case this bug should be reported to Adobe.


Workarounds: 1) Use ASCII locale. 2) Fix your locale for acroread and break it 
for all other programs.
I mean fix locally, I not approve this change as official.
