Comment 8 for bug 1389028

I am completely stumped by this. for sure I am missing something absolutely obvious, I just cant think what.

pkilling the process and then starting it again does not help.

online-accounts-service

still seems to timeout(or crash) after a couple of seconds. It will simply not output to screen nor log to file.
here are my futile attemps to get some clearity:
So I suddenly noticed that the underscores were missing in the export commands in the terminal app, even though I was typing them. Discussed that bug with swordfish90 and he assumed that that was caused by a font problem. Shouldnt impact on the actual commands pushed. So i did file a bug for that.
Getting back to this problem, I wanted to be sure that the terminal bug wasnt causing the log commands to fail. So I adb shelled into my device and even ssh-ed into it to run the commands but always with the same result.
I considered that maybe this was a authorization problem. Although I was always in developer mode.

So I also remembered your initial thought that maybe some files or the filesystem got corrupted. In light of a couple of bugs of that nature recently, I needed to rule that out. So i reflashed my device using the --wipe options. But still I could trigger the bug and consistenly so. In the meantime rtm had got some new images promoted but on all those still the bug remains. I finally did another --wipe install but changed to rtm-proposed channel. Still the bug is there.

The weirdest thing is that I am apparently the only one that is hit by this bug. If that is so, then it almost seems to me that my U1 account is corrupted(is that even possible?).
I dont'really know what I can do now as I can't seem to generate logfiles for this one.
Any ideas :) ?
