Comment 76 for bug 969489

respawn workaround works fine here, but frankly I find it troubling that such a severe issue has gone unfixed for so long... Will we ever get an official update that fixes this? New users shouldn't be expected to edit config files just to get their system to boot correctly. This type of bug should never even make it out of a beta release, and definitely shouldn't go unfixed in multiple "stable" releases.
