Bug#565722: [tex-k] segfault in libkpathsea (from TL2007)

[lmr@sfo.com]

Hi Norbert,

I'm sorry, I'm not sure where these map files are--I could look.

It's working again.  I deleted the '/usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R' file,
and removed all the fonts and put them in my home directory, and reran
texhash.

Then I ran my very simple one-line case and when it gave a 'font missing'
message, I added the directory back that contained the missing font file.

It generated a simple, one-line .dvi and .pdf file, and xdvi and xpdf also
worked.  I didn't change any maps, but maybe they're being regenerated by
this process.

We may have edited it by hand over a month ago.  It was working until
yesterday.

Thank you,

Linda
