This bug was located and fixed in Gtk+ (follow the link I posted above), and the fix (https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=561ff51a) made it to Vivid. Ubuntu folks should backport it to Trusty too.

There's no connection to the system load because interrupting that command (e.g. `btrfs filesystem defragment` with `SIGSTOP`) don't make `gnome-terminal` return, but keep hanging forever.
