Comment 2 for bug 364524

I confirm the problem: i have a desktop AMD Athlon X2/64 running Jaunty/32 and an HP notebook running Jaunty/32 as well, both incrementally upgraded from the first public alpha to the current stage, and i can programmatically lock them up via "strace gedit".
The "SysReq+REISUB" it's the only working thing in most cases, although sometimes i can ssh into the machine and sometimes not.
I strace'd some other programs (firefox-3.5) and it works fine, i wonder what "strace `strace gedit`" could lead to, i'll try that when i'll be at home this evening.
