Apparently there was something broken in the versions I had. They are
newer that the standard ones from the openSUSE 11.1 repository. I
dropped back to the defaults and it worked. So I'm going to try to
reproduce it and file a bug on the openSUSE package ("texlive" -- they
install the whole bundle). The clue was that it was using "pdfTeXk" and
not "pdfTeX" to convert the TeX inputs to PDFs.
