Hi Dave,
I have tried that and it works fine for etex! but not for PDFTEX!
I have followed exactly the same similar steps:
rm /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex.fmt
rm ~/.texmf/var/web2c/pdftex.fmt
pdftex //end

cd ~/.texmf/var/web2c/
rm pdftex.fmt
I have adapted following the above output:
pdftex -ini -jobname=pdftex -progname=pdftex -translate-file=cp227.tcx
*pdftex.ini
but it says:

file:line:error style messages enabled.
%&-line parsing enabled.
(/usr/share/texmf/web2c/cp227.tcx)
! I can't find file `*pdftex.ini'.
<*> *pdftex.ini
Please type another input file name:
And now ?
Thanks,
Angelo.
