[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#476086: hal: input addon uses as much cpu time as possible after rfkill removal

[Johannes Berg]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11~rc2-1
Severity: normal

After removing a module that had an rfkill input device, for
example b43 (where b43 is compiled with rfkill support), the
input addon hangs in a poll loop that includes an invalid file
descriptor pointing to the event device that has been removed.
This causes it to use as much cpu time as possible forcing one
to restart hald or kill the input addon.
