How does one un-subscribe?  As you probably know, last week or so ago I
(I'm sure I'm not the only one) had my e-mail box bombed with bug
reports, it was absurd. This is not the kind of bug bomb I would hope
for.(LOL).  Anyway I finally started marking it all as spam.  This is
the first one to make it through since the bomb, and yet again - no
'take my name off the list' option. What gives? How do I stop getting
mail from you guys?

Just so people know (and sorry for the spam) every single duplicate of
this bug is probably actually a completely different problem. Crashing
in doPoll just means something went weird in compiz that didn't trip it
up until the next time it went through this function. I'm not sure how
all of these bugs ended up as duplicates (I know many/most were done
automatically by apport) but we should probably at least have a separate
bug for each action someone was performing when this happened.

Also, unless someone finds the right magic to harden compiz to such
problems there is probably no good way to debug this problem since the
corruption of compiz state almost certainly happens at some early point
that could be quite some time ago.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: compiz

compiz.real crashed with SIGSEGV

this happens when the screen is locked, and you try to unlock it by
putting in your password.  it accepts the password, blanks the field,
says 'checking' and spins the cursor...and never stops.  bumping to high
importance, due to the likely amounts of data loss each time this
happens.
