The error in this bug is reported as:

    Error: /invalidfileaccess in --file--

It is the same as the bug mentioned here: 
http://email.esm.psu.edu/pipermail/macosx-emacs/2011-January/002566.html
and here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-auctex/2010-10/msg00016.html

8.71 has a different bug in it that produces an error that says

    Error /undefined in copy_trailer_attrs

(as reported here: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?29023)

3) In emacs pressing 'C-c C-c C-p' inside of an equation environment
should produce a preview of the equation.  I
