When it is on the first compilation, acroread doesn't freeze, right? If this is the case, then it's a bug in acroread: it doesn't automatically reload a PDF document when it has been resaved to disk. Try File > Reload (or similar) to see if it solves the problem. Otherwise, consider using Evince, and try acroread only before submitting.
