Do you have some kind of live-preview configuration?  It's been a while
since I did LaTeX, but I remember latex-mode had some configuration that
allows to to continuously run (pdf)latex and keep a previewer running.
I think the latexmk command does something similar.  See if you have an
instance of that running in the background somewhere.

Try with an empty ~/.emacs.d (or start emacs with -Q) and see if the
behaviour persists.  That will eliminate latex-mode configuration as a
potential culprit.
