Hi all!

I was bitten by this bug too, In our case in a Maverick derived
distribution one and using Firefox 4.0.1. It's a kiosk distribution too
without a desktop environment (just a Firefox with a custom extension)
and this was a critical bug since the kiosk is used for consulting pdfs
(among other things).  We needed to deploy this patch quickly into the
distribution, so I did a (sorry for the dirty 20 minutes) debian package
for it. I've just uploaded the source package (lp:~javiube/+junk
/acroread-workaround), so you can easily make your own required changes
and build it for your distribution. Required lines for .bashrc are not
included in the package since we included that into another
distribution's package.

Hey Christian, I'm not sure about the change you did, but I guees that
commenting the if-clause is a bad idea and you'll need either to define
SOCK_NONBLOCK by your own (see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-
pages/online/pages/man2/socket.2.html) or to provide an alternative way
for doing this check.

Hope this helps!


Cheers!
