While it's lovely that it's fixed in 12.04, 10.04 is supposed to be
supported on the desktop for another year and on servers for another
three. I don't find Upgrade to the newest Ubuntu to be a nice
solution for a bug in an LTS package.
My first comment (#2) includes a link to the patch from
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: emacs23
+ (Description updated by Brian Gernhardt)
- On several systems that I maintain, we occasionally see user's emacs
- processes that are using 100% of a CPU, usually when that user is not
- even logged in. Some follow-up with the users
Marius: I know how to perform the updates, but there are logistical
problems too. Thanks for pointing out the SRU procedure. I updated the
description to match the requested sections. The next step is to Ask a
bug supervisor to nominate for the appropriate Ubuntu releases, which I
don't know
I don't know how to draw more attention to this bug but I would say that
I'd classify it as serious. Emacs ends up silently consuming memory in
the background until the out of memory killer is triggered. And the OOM
killer doesn't always kill emacs, it sometimes kills other long running
100% reliable method of reproducing on my 10.4 machine:
1) ssh to localhost
2) start emacs
3) Control-Z
4) Enter, tilde, period (to kill the SSH session)
5) emacs starts spinning and eating memory

In shared hosting environments, even root may not have control over
mount points, so Don't do that and noexec is useless are not useful
replies.
APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir /var/tmp;
Is useful, however. Thank you, Hans. (In my case, /var/tmp is also
noexec, but I can set it to something
Debian removed --enable-mediactl in 2.8.10.1-1, to close Debian bug
#493090 (libwxgtk2.8-0: unwanted dependency on libgconf) and remove wx's
dependency on gconf. Fair enough, but they really should have provided
a wxmedia package instead of just removing it. :-(

libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so.0
This also keeps the wxruby gem from running.
