It looks like Acrobat Reader 5.0.9 is available for download from the usual
Adobe site.  Their text only page still shows 5.0.8, but their normal page
where you choose platform, etc shows 5.0.9.  Request for the ebuild.

Taking bets on whether this version actually works without chewing up all your
CPU or not.  Minimum bet is 50 monetary units. Odds are 10 to 1 against it
working.

Seems better than 5.0.8. (It still sucks ~80% of my CPU, though)
I put the ebuild to CVS. Thanks for the report.

I have not sync yet, just copy the old ebuild and removed the utf-8 (looks like
it get fixed.) I am just going to spoil here :) (Seemant Kulleen already made a
ton of money with $5 here and there from our devs.)

Well, it did lock my xorg-x11 that I have to Ctrl+Alt+Fn to send a HUP to it.

Same thing happened here, 5.09 locked xorg. First time I tried I fixed killing
process from fb console, second time it didn't work and I had to kill xorg with
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.

According to freshmeat 5.0.9 is a security update: "A security patch was
applied that solves a couple of problems reported with malformed uuencoded PDF
files."
