Description Gour 2003-10-27 23:59:19 UTC

When I try to launch Acrobat Reader in utf-8 locale it crashes. 
 
The workaround in the acroread script does not work, but I tried with the script mentioned 
in  http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/Acroread-8.2-i386.html  and it works!! 
 
In the attachment I am providing a patch. 
 
Sincerely, 
Gour

1. launch acroread in utf-8 locale 
2. 
3. 
Actual Results:  
Program crashes.

It seems doing nearly the same thing but SuSE's will clear more 
environment variables, so I took the patch and applied. Thanks
for the bug report.
