Apparently there were some problems with the acroread port that caused
the port managers to revert to an earlier version See UPDATING in the
/usr/ports directory (after updating your port tree).
Whether that was my problem, or there was some other problem that was
also fixed by running portupgrade, I don't know, but I did a portupgrade
and acroread works fine now.
Thanks for the assistance --- Don
