See attached.

	Yes, it does have multiple xrefs (eg. an update table) and therefore
Acrobat (rightly) considers this as no longer linearized!

	Whatever software did the updating should be shot for not invalidating the
linearization tables...


Any suggestions for rules worth coding?

	You need to know if there are any update tables...Xpdf knows internally,
but the info isn't exposed. The presence of the /Prev key in the trailer
dict is clue enough.
