If you run Adobe Reader, it crashes right after putting up its window.

That's enough detail for anyone to be able to attempt to reproduce the 
problem.

If you /can/ reproduce it, then you the details of the crash are almost 
certainly not going to help you fix it, because there's no debuginfo and 
Adobe Reader is closed-source.  Sure, it's possible that a sufficiently 
knowledgeable developer would be able to tell from the crash details 
what's going wrong in some open-source Fedora component and fix it, but 
that seems unlikely, and furthermore, if the crash is really caused by a 
bug in an open-source Fedora component, it seems likely that it'd be 
affecting at least one other thing besides Reader, in which case it 
would be easier to debug and fix the issue through that other thing 
rather than trying to debug through a closed-source application with no 
debuginfo.

If you /can't/ reproduce the issue, then again, the details of the crash 
from my end are not going to be particularly useful.

This is why I did not bother to post the crash details here.

Having said all of that, you seem to think that they might be useful, so 
although I disagree, I will accede to your request:
