[FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix

Hello!

This patch seems to have broken something in Unix sockets in the Linux
ABI.  The acroread Linux binary cannot connect to the local X11 unix
socket ("cannot open display: :0.0".  Setting DISPLAY=<hostname>:0 works
(using a TCP socket instead), and I just verified that it works without
the patch.  Or can it be a bug in acroread?

(I'm running 8.2-REL/i386 on an IBM Thinkpad X40, and I'm using KDE
4.5.5)
