[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#267257: alsa-base: APM event script crashes kicker, firefox

[John Goerzen]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.5a-2
Severity: important

I have for some time been trying to track down why kicker (the KDE
panel) and occasionally other apps such as firefox crash when my laptop
resumes from sleep.  I finally tracked it down to ALSA's
/etc/apm/event.d script.  If I put exit 0 at the top of it, my system is
completely fine.  If I let it run, kicker crashes every time it resumes
from sleep, and firefox does on occasion too.
