The Adobe AIR installer is actually here: http://get.adobe.com/air/ It registers itself in RPMDB after installation, but is not part of Adobe's Yum repository -- yet.
This problem, interestingly, does not occur on a 32-bit installation, only when running Adobe Reader (a 32-bit app) on a 64-bit install.
Problem seems to be in either cairo-ft or freetype. Need someone to debug, to see where the out-of-memory status is coming from. I don't have access to a 64bit machine.
Maddeningly, I cannot reproduce this anymore (it reliably occured yesterday). Feel free to close the bug.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
