Title:
pdftex for some reason scans the whole home directory
Status in texlive-bin package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: texlive-base-bin
When called as "pdftex filename.tex" the pdftex doesn't work as expected (I
was using latex or pdflatex from tetex-bin and worked fine for years). It does
only print:
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
%&-line parsing enabled.
and waits there for hours. I tried to strace the executable and found
that is scans recursively my home directory probably searching for
something. This is quite unacceptable. A partial output of strace is:
[...]
