I've added 5.07 to portage masked ~x86.  Please test and report any problems
here.

Thanks for the bug report Fridtjof.

Works fine here, no problems. 
Comment 3 fbusse 2003-06-21 04:42:11 UTC
Might be a good idea to unmask 5.07 and send a GLSA, together with the one for 
xpdf (it's the same issue)
