No linux application does this, it's the kernel. It tries with the
compat path first and then with the normal path. I don't know why it
does not work in acroread, I never investigated this issue. An
application should not be able to know if the command is from compat
or not. I'm a little bit puzzled, but not puzzled enough to
investigate further. Maybe Roman wants to have a look at it as part of
his SoC 2007 work... :)
