For clarity this is triggered by the kernel sometimes exposing an EIO where we are expecting EOF. This tickles an issue with libnih which accumulates input in a read until EAGAIN loop, and dumps (arguably erroneously) its entire pending buffer when it sees an unexpected error. -- You received

Running with a 3.19.0-8-generic kernel I see: - The Upstart test_job_process test fail within a few seconds when run in a loop looking for the errror. - My test program in #13 also finds the bug within ~30 seconds on my test system. Using the kernel in #11, I have run both tests simultaneously
