Comment 14 for bug 213053

Sadly I can't remove my mistaken report against Fuse or the probably-wrong report against Totem, but the additional report of "apt-get" becoming unkillable suggests that this is clearly a kernel bug (as my original duplicate bug said).

Can anyone kernel-savvy give us some help with diagnosing or narrowing down this bug? My media center, running Hardy, seems to exhibit this bug at least once a week if I'm using totem; but, interestingly, not if I'm running VLC. If anyone has some suggested additional diagnosis, I'll switch my default media player back so that I can get those periodic crashes back and gather data. I'm keeping most of my machines on Gutsy right now because this is a reliability disaster for me (my only hardy machine requires weekly rebooting, either from compiz or totem doing this) so I'm willing to put in a bit of work to get it resolved.
