Hmm... this is disturbing. I just tried these two tests (with  
"filename.pdf" changed to the name of a PDF graphic that I had handy),  
and both ran fine (with overfull box complaints from the latter, of  
course).

So I'm wondering what's different for me. Could you send me a copy of  
the .log file from both the successful (0.8\textwidth) and failed runs  
(assuming the latter creates a log--or does it die without finishing  
the log file?), so I can see if that contains any clues as to what's  
going on.

Thanks,
