Public bug reported:
I think I have found a reproducible way to wreck jaunty on my dell
studio xps laptop:
1. plug in a 80GB iPod (mounted at /media/ipod)
2. issue the following command in a gnome terminal: "find /media/ipod -name
\*.mp3 -exec id3v2 -l {} \;"
3. watch the system become less and less responsive until it freezes and
becomes hung up eventually.
The root cause seems to be some sort of memory leak .. from what I could
make of the syslog (see attachment) after a hard reset it appears that
the kernel simply ran out of memory.
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
