Hi Christian,

 This gv message doesn't give any extra information. The one I got with 
acroread trying to display your first file was clear enough: something is 
wrong in the binary part of that particular file. But I can only repeat 
what I said, without a  macro reproducing it, it is hard to debug this 
problem.

 Can you try to start root with the option "-n" to avoid to execute the 
root logon file, and check if you still have the problem in that case ?

Cheers, Olivier
