Mozilla hung while trying to open a pdf-File. Acrobat Reader 5.0.1 hung as well.
The same URL didn't cause problems with Opera 6 and IE 5.5.
After restarting the Browser it apperared in the Tray Bar twice.
Sometimes it made windows hang, too, and I had to restart the PC.
I could reproduce the problem with Acrobat opening in an own window, too. 

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Browser
2.Open URL with .pdf -ending
3.

Actual Results:  Browser hangs, Acrobat Reader hangs.

Expected Results:  Open .pdf-file in a new window.

certainly wfm with 0517 1.0.0 branch build. The pdf takes a while(10-15 scs) to 
actually load content..but works fine. reporter, u are using an old build. In 
the week of 05/17...tons of acrobat fixes were checked in on the brnch. pls use 
a recent nightly and test this bug (and help testing acrobat as well :) Thx!
