** Description changed:
upstart-watchdog reboots the phone if a process is restarting repeatedly.
- In a situation where apport is disabled (which is the proposed situation on

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.

+ The original idea was to include a check on the number of reboots and go
