AHA. Eventually we get to the root of the problem

Oh it was but the user only saw the PDF being open.

Thanks for your investigation. Such data truly helps in
pinpointing the problem.

Up until 1.3.1 we did one (apparently crucial) thing in a
different way: We copied the generated PDF from the *TeX
sandbox into the standard GNUmed temp dir (that is, one
level up in the directory hierarchy). When copying, the PDF
acquired the access rights associated with the user running
the gnumed.exe process while the *tex.exe-generated PDF held
the rights of the user having run the *tex.exe process
(which really SHOULD be the same as the gnumed.exe one
because gnumed.exe *executes* *tex.exe but apparently that
ain't so).

Consequently, I will again copy the PDF as before - that
should take care of it.
