Never mind. I removed and then reinstalled Adobe Reader (expecting someone else would suggest that). Now it works okay. But something in the way it was previously installed really clobbered SeaMonkey. I got three crashes in a half hour trying to capture the text of the error popup and the headers. Fortunately, I did not have to remove and reinstall SeaMonkey. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
