Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.00-12
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hello,

when I start xpdf, it _always_ scans the current directories. This is

a) not neccessary
b) sucks very much if you have a lot of files and/or symlinks pointing
   to remote filesystems or suspended disks

I looked at the source but cannot get it now. Strace displays even two
rounds of file stating. May come from some library but I do not see
where exactly.

Regards,
Eduard.
