Bug#397093: transcend: on Matrox G400, near-100% CPU usage, doesn't start, requires reboot to log in again

[Shawn K. Quinn]

Package: transcend
Version: 0.3.dfsg1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


Starting transcend completely destabilizes the entire system. 500 MHz
Athlon, 256M RAM, Matrox G400. Even killing Xorg and transcend don't
restore a normally functioning system; Xorg continues to use nearly 100%
of CPU.
