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...  :)
