I had 4 machines affected by this problem, 3x on Ubuntu 10.04 and 1 on
12.04, all with FF 13.0.1. It also seemed like Thunderbird was a
problem, though not as bad as FF. Reboots fixed them all, but that's
very disappointing. Ubuntu/ntp/GNU/Linux should handle time and leap-
seconds more
This bad behavior seems to have been caused by issues with futex system
calls. Here's the most detailed description I've seen so far, including
a small test program that can be used to replicate the behavior (I
haven't tried it since it modifies the system time):

I'd like to confirm this on 12.04 with 13.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1.
I'm seeing the same from chrome too, which is very odd. A reboot seems

Thanks. I was beginning to feel a bit silly after a reboot fixed my
issue as well. I had first tried restarting my X environment, thinking
that some Gnome libraries or protocols might have gotten out of sync
somehow. I rarely reboot my machine since issues can normally be
resolved through other
Big thank you, both of you. I was going crazy trying to find out the
cause as I normally reboot only after a kernel update, and that was the
last thing on my mind to try it. Fixed for me, too (12.04 /
13.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1).

Just since I'm not sure I want to file another bug against something
that may be in a library function or system call, I'll note here that
mythfrontend and mythbackend processes (from MythTV) were also running
hot on a machine I use as a DVR. Those processes are more heavily
multi-threaded, so
