Public bug reported:

Release:        15.10 (amd64)

When opening an ISO I have recently downloaded, using the "Open With >
Disk Image Mounter" feature of Ubuntu it causes a hard system lock.
(Not even pressing REISUB works) This is not a freak one off occurrence,
as the same thing will happen again when opening the same file.

Sadly, nothing is logged either before the crash in the system log, so it's 
hard to find out what's specifically causing this. My hunch is either:
1) Something in the ISO that doesn't get handled properly (less likely)
2) The fact the file-system where the ISO is held is using ZFS (installed from 
the Ubuntu repos) and something in gnome-disk-utility doesn't handle this 
properly. (I find more likely as ZFS on Ubuntu is still fairly experimental)

Anyone care to share some experience or hunches in how to go figure out
what's causing this horrendous bug? I'm going to try and place the file
on an ext4 partition and see what that does, but I don't really want to
keep on risking hard-locking the system if I don't have to!

Thanks!
