Sorry for the late answer. But I didn't read it before my vacation, and
not right after, and nobody seems to have replied...

__sF sounds like an internal variable used by the stdio library, part of
libc.

That you see references to it sounds like it can't find its libc - (or that
it was compiled with a different libc than it can find).

However, that unsetting LD_... works, tells me, that somehow the Linux
emulation libc isn't in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (I think Acrobat is a Linux
binary). If it works that way, not using LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct
solution. Nothing on ELF systems *should* need one, as ELF binaries have
a library search path embedded.
