[Kieran Grant <773564@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have detected this problem too on Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64.

Here is some information that hopefully someone will find useful.
dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/compiz: compiz-core
dpkg-query -s compiz-core:

Package: compiz-core
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Installed-Size: 1196
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Architecture: amd64
Source: compiz
Version: 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4

...etc...

Using "perf top -azG" I see that compiz is stuck at the following loop:
libinotify.so: InotifyScreen::processEvents()
with annoate at:
(%usage/thread) (offset from image base address??) (actual disassembly)
25.00: 54A0:   mov (%rax), rax
00.00: 54A3:   cmp %edx, 0x10(%rax)
75.00: 54A6:   jne 54A0 <InotifyScreen::processEvents()+0xf0>

I caused compiz to core with kill -SIGABRT ..., and incidentaly, the
same bug was triggered when I tried to respond to apport, which then
crashed because of me killing compiz (again) and starting metacity up,
after coping the original compiz crash file for later anaylsis.

Incase you can't get the info from my coredump from different versions
of compiz, here is some info:

gdb /usr/bin/compiz compiz_core (which I had to extract from the
'apport' freindly crash file)

A dissassembly around the looping code:
