I had not had any problems of this nature until I tried updating some packages this morning. Then this bug hit me. I was seeing 100% CPU utilization and strace showed a continued access to a futex. Sorry I don't have a package update list since I had to revert the system immediately (it is a production system). The system had previously been updated on May 24th. This update was a new kernel, and some X updates. Sorry I don't have more concrete information to report.

I do have VirtualBox installed on this machine, but it was inactive when the bug occurred.
I also am using VNC to connect to this computer remotely, and the problem seemed to occur shortly after connecting. Not sure if that is related or not.
