Funny you should bring this up. A day or two ago, I noticed the
performance monitor on my desktop was showing about 50% cpu usage.
When I ran top, I found acroread eating 99% of a cpu, which I thought
was strange. I looked around, and there were no acroread windows
open, so I checked with ps and found an orphan acroread (most likely
from seamonkey, I think). I had to kill -9 it (kill didn't work), but
that's the first and so far only time I've seen this. Usually it's
seamonkey that's hogging about 10-25% of a cpu.
HTH.
