I had a Linux shared library problem on NetBSD that I think it might be helpful to mention. thunderbird (and firefox) set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up their own modules. When acroread is invoked to display a pdf attachment, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is still set, and this causes acroread to read a BSD library. My workaround is to use a script for acroread that cleans the environment. I think this is a thunderbird bug; the environment of invoked programs should match the environment as of thunderbird's invocation.
