Actually you guys
did ask me to reverse engineer Poppler!
Eventually I figured out the problem wasn't Poppler but was in reality that everyone had missed the obvious: Poppler doesn't have a Mono4!
I had a real
Doh! moment when I realized that Mono8 was just fine, it just needed to be error dispersed into a Mono4 for the iLiad to display it. I assumed when you said you all had tried Mono8 yourselves and Poppler had problems... and made an ass out of myself as well. Countless hours tromping around in the Poppler sources and all I needed to have done was look at what was right there in front of me: perfectly good Mono8 waiting to be corrected into Mono4.
You sent me on quite the "wild goose chase".
Anyone can hack the kernel is perfect security via loadable kernel modules. No need for a CF recovery option. But its much easier to work with if you have the exact kernel source to compile the loadable modules from.
