Subject: Re: Bug#333522: possible problem cause: wait4(-1)

I did a bit of a poke around this symbols problem.
I puzzeled over it for a while. I began to wonder
if it might be caused byudevsynthesize[1] which seems
to be the major change between -2 and -4, and I completely
failed in all my attempts to reproduce the problem.

I then chatted it over with some people, and they suggested
that it might actually be a problem with a bogus depmod run.
Can people who are seeing this run depmod manually and
see if the problem goes away?

Alternateively, its seems there is a high correlation between
this problem and loading uhci_hcd. Providing lspci -vv might help a bit.
Also, what kind of usb devices do the people who are seeing this have
plugged in. I tried with a few I found lying around the office,
but to no avail.
