Bug Description
I've noticed a trend lately that whenever I use iotop, and close the terminal instead of quitting, that the cpu utilization reaches 100%, and stays there. I have to kill the pid before it settles down.
I'm using xubuntu 12.10x64 fully updated,
To reproduce:
open terminal
sudo iotop
close terminal
open new terminal
top
sort by cpu usage with 'c'
notice that iotop is munching on cpu.
