Subject:   nppd.so acrobat plugin hangs epiphany

Hello

I am using nppd.so ad aplugin for PDF files in Epiphany.
Plugin installed from ports (pluginwrapper)

Epiphany 1.06
FreeBSD 5.2.1

Flash plugin works great,
Acrobat reader works great by itself.

When I attempt to view a PDF file in epiphany from a URL, nppd.so  
attempts to launch acrobat reader and hangs at the splash screen.
(Force quit to get out of it)

Anybody solve this one before?
TIA for thoughts.

More info:

the file nppd.so is a link:

in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     48 Aug 16 12:02 nppdf.so -> /usr/local/ 
Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so

in /etc/libmap.conf

# Acrobat with Opera
[/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so]
libc.so.6                       pluginwrapper/acrobat.so

# Acrobat with Konqueror
# KDE on FreeBSD requires plugins to be placed in /opt/mozilla/ 
plugins/.
# (unlike many other www browsers on X11, it does not support
# /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ for a plugin directory)
# So please copy nppdf.so to /opt/mozilla/plugins/ like following  
lines.
#       mkdir -p /opt/mozilla/plugins
#       cd /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux
#       cp nppdf.so /opt/mozilla/plugins/
