Comment 0 for bug 704923

Since 2011-01-07 python hangs with 100% CPU when running automated desktop tests.
Only SIGKILL have effect.

The window of the application under test can be closed manually but a ps shows a defunct process.

This can be reproduced with totem, banshee and gwibber on 3 different systems.

For desktop testing we use ldtp and mago, this is reproducible with versions 2.0.6 and 2.1.0 of ldtp.

You'll find in attachment the update history of one of the affected system.
