Maybe ps aux|grep acro and post that. Are you displaying pdf file at the time you are seeing the message ? This could be just with the firefox plugin as well ? If you tail -f /var/log/messages and start/stop acrobat, do the messages start / stop ? If you use the fc6 Evince 0.6.0 to view a pdf does the message continue ? It seems to be a bug in the upstream acroread itself, and if so it might be worth searching adobe's web site for faq/forums/bugzilla's, and posting your experiences there. DaveT.
