Thanks for the quick turnaround.

You are correct, I was unable to open any other PDFs. I usually do better  
in researching a problem like this...but the nice bug dialog popped up :)

So, I tried logging out and back in and even restarting X. Neither worked.  
So finally I attempted a reboot. Now I can read PDFs just fine. My guess  
is that since I typically keep my machine up for extended periods, and  
also frequently update packages (I'm running Debian Sid), something  
updated that got locked into memory. I can't say I've seen this type of  
thing happen very often, though, in 10 years running Debian Sid :)

I'm sorry for the trouble. Again, I normally research such problems a  
little more thoroughly.

Thanks again for the help,
Michael
