I think acroread creates this file in my $HOME directory but this time I see it in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ .

It sounds like you ran a web browser as root from a weird place. Anyway, without narrowing it down, I cannot possibly assign this to a developer.
OK, I tried as root to run seamonkey and it created in `cwd` a file named C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt. This is from seamonkey-2.33.1 when opening a PDF file, likely via www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-r3 or app-text/acroread-9.5.5-r2 . I think it happened with previous versions, just wanted to note them here for completeness.
