[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#561250: Using 100% CPU polling a device that doesn't exist

[Will Thompson]

Package: devicekit-disks
Version: 009-2
Severity: normal

I haven't got debugging symbols, so can't provide a more useful
backtrace than this:

#0  0x00007f6bc4aeb817 in IA__g_list_last (list=0xb60ac0, data=0xb63e10) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.3/glib/glist.c:717
#1  IA__g_list_append (list=0xb60ac0, data=0xb63e10) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.3/glib/glist.c:128
#2  0x000000000041e8d5 in ?? ()
#3  0x00007f6bc4aed8fe in g_main_dispatch (context=0xb608c0) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.3/glib/gmain.c:1960

However, I can provide this explanation for the infinite CPU use:

(gdb) print list
$1 = (GList *) 0xb60ac0
(gdb) print list->next
$2 = (GList *) 0xb60ac0

:-)
