If I recreate the files here with my non-TL installation, I get valid files.
same with newest pdftex from said current tex live inst 20070123. It just means that live.pdf somehow hasn't been compiled properly (maybe a path problem). No pdftex issue. Just remaking live.pdf should repair this. Regards, Hartmut

Could it be that the pk inclusion is broken? I saw no math fonts at all in martin's dump, and that is a bit suspicious. Perhaps the "not a font" entries were lmsy10 et al? Taco

this could be also missing gsftopk triggering. Anyway, it's still interesting that pdftex doesn't quit in such a case, removing the faulty pdf file. There should be pdf_fail. Regards, Hartmut

Could indeed be math. The working file also has CMMI10, CMR10 and CMSY10, while these are absent in the broken one. But LOGO10 is there. Best Martin

Microsoft?
I assume that the random number generator their software is based on will provide the number "42" occasionally. But this is nothing you can rely on.
