I constantly have this problem. I have to run:
$ ps -e | grep acroread
to get the pid number and then
$ kill -KILL <pid>
to kill the process. I figured it was an acrobat problem rather than SL.
It mostly happens whenever I run acrobat from inside firefox. If I
navigate way from the page where the pdf file is, the acroread process
continues running and eventually freezes my system. This is especially
true if I try to open two pdf files from inside firefox. I have to keep
an eye on my activity indicator. If it starts showing lots of activity,
then I know acroread is running in the background and its time to start
killing.
Maybe someone else has a less brute force method of dealing with this?
Regards,
Craig
