Hi Martin, it seems that pdftex-1.30.2 is broken. When I run it on a rather complex document, it couldn't find some files in the current directory or in the standard texmf tree. This doesn't happen with 1.30.0. I am sorry that I cannot send the files to reproduce the bug. The error happens randomly and took me a few hours before I tried to run 1.30.0 against it. I know that it makes little sense to talk about the bug without the files needed to reproduce the bug. However I think it's good to have the problem reported, just for case someone runs into similar problems. For the moment I will make my patches againts 1.30.0. Thanh
