I have a related problem with the View function on OS X 10.4.7

With the default value of Tex_ViewRule_format (empty string),
\lv won't work at all! Changing it to 'open' doesn't help either. 
I have to change the string to 'open -a Preview' or "open $.pdf" 
to make it work.

Even then, \lv will only work every other time (that is I have to
type \lv twice to get it to work).
