On -current (with xpdf-3.02.3), the first file displays fine, the second one causes segfaults. I'll have a closer look at it. You could also try to build the backport from Ian McWilliam: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=124092467225494&w=2 If all else fails, try one of the other pdf viewer, like epdfview or evince. (these days, i've more trust in the poppler developers than in the xpdf developer, though both handle critical bugs in a very messy way) Ciao, Kili ps: i've still some M's for other ports including xpdf sources (texlive, kdegraphics, koffice is a hopeless case) and i didn't get any feedback yet, except one "i trust you" from landry (IIRC). Well, don't trust me -- test!
