Bug 213675 – app-text/acroread-8.1.2 plugin eats system RAM on closing window in firefox

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Paulo J. Matos 2008-03-17 09:58:53 UTC]

When closing an acroread window through firefox, it throws ld-linux.so.2 into the system and eats up all the ram quite fast.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a pdf in firefox
2. Close the pdf...
3. FAST! Open top and kill ld-linux.so.2 process.

Actual Results:  
If you don't manage to kill the process on time, the next step is to reboot the system.

Expected Results:  
A clean, stable system! :)
