This bug affects my system in following way: I have "cameramonitor" package installed which periodically calls `fuser /dev/video0`, also I have "nproc" limits set to 600 in /etc/security/limits.conf, so periodically all my threads resources are getting exhausted, which leads to faults in some programs that tries to create thread at that moment.
The most noticable problem is with Pidgin --- it quite often hangs in pthread_cond_wait() with stack trace similar to specified here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666957 looks like because gstreamer fails to fork. Peter's patch helped, thanks! ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #666957 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666957 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876387 Title: fuser forking uncontrollably in cron job To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/876387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
