Haven't experienced this myself, but this is what I would try next.
Launch acroread from a shell prompt.  It might spit out some errors on
stderr or stdout and you will see those from the command line.  Try this
as a regular user and as root, to determine if there are any permissions
problems.

Next, I would try the strace command (man strace).  I would start with
`strace -c acroread` which will print a nice summary of calls and errors
after the process exits.  If that doesn't yield a clue, try `strace -o
acroread.strace acroread` to get the full dump redirected to a file
called 'acroread.strace'.  You could spend days reading through the
resulting file.

Don't know if that helps, but it's worth a shot.
