someone else already has. Please read the information on that bug report and add any more information you have. Near as we can tell blackbox is sitting in a tight loop doing: while (has transient) transient = transient->next which is why closing acroread has no effect. apparently acroread does something fishy with their dialog boxes that confuses blackbox. When you post on sf.net, please include the version of acroread.
