Summary: pdftex 1.40.6: "invalid argument" on parsing pdftex.map

Initial Comment: Using an admittedly quite old pdftex.map, pdftex 1.40.5 would product correct output but pdftex 1.40.6 fails to parse the map file. pdftex.map is attached; here is interactive output: waverley:~/mytex/misc$ cat bug.tex \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Hello. \end{document} waverley:~/mytex/misc$ pdflatex bug This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.6 (Web2C 7.5.6) \write18 enabled.

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1608 Works for me as well. The most likely candidate for creating this problem is the pfb file, not the map file. The actual error message probably comes from zlib, not the map file parser. Can you check that /usr/local/psfonts/bsr/cmr10.pfb is exactly 26882 bytes long? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Allin Cottrell (allin) Date: 2008-02-14 02:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=4856 I've now tried using a much simpler map file, but that didn't help. Here what strace says, at the end of reading the map file: read(7, "wncysc10.pfb\nwncyss10 http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=917&group_id=106
