Public bug reported:
upstart-watchdog reboots the phone if a process is restarting repeatedly.
In a situation where apport is disabled (which is the proposed situation on
retail devices), a process which encounters a problem it may restart
repeatedly, causing watchdog to reboot the phone. If the situation hasn't
changed then the next time the phone starts the same issue could happen.
I had this (bug 1498080) where a process - mediascanner - was crashing.
My phone was then stuck in a boot loop with watchdog rebooting due to repeated
mediascanner crashes.
We should probably re-think this.
