I left my laptop on overnight. Usually it's very quiet, but I just noticed the fan was running loud. I checked with 'top' and saw that one of the CPU cores was pegged at 100% CPU. The xfce4-volumed process was responsible.
gdb shows me: (gdb) where #0 0xb78c5430 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb75e6ba6 in poll () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb783c53b in g_poll () from /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb782f55b in ??

() and strace refused to attach: ch...@chris-laptop:~$ sudo strace -p 2541 [sudo] password for chris: attach: ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, ...): Operation not permitted so this is still a problem. I often leave the machine idle, and have only seen this behaviour once before.
