Printing for example, calling lpr from within acroread calls the FreeBSD
version.  It gets called with a temp. file in /tmp/<blah>, but if 
acroread writes it in /compat/linux/tmp/<blah> then lpr can't find it.
So if /compat/linux/tmp exists then it causes trouble.

People have ran into the problem here a couple of times when we first got
acroread running a long time ago.  Things may have changed since then.
