[OS X TeX] beamer error (or supp-pdf.mkii error) ?

On tex-live list I just received a reply from Ulrike Fischer 
in which she attributes the problem to an incompatibility between 
a new version of geometry.sty and beamer.

Moreover, she suggests to use the following code

\makeatletter\let\ifGm at compatii\relax\makeatother
\documentclass{beamer}

until the problem will be fixed.

I attach her email at the bottom of this message.

Regards,
	Alessandro
