Also Wine applications behave odd which after the upgrade to 3.13.0-59
don't run. When I reboot in 3.13.0-58 kernel they work again. I'm now
forced to boot into the earlier kernel.

Title:
  Odd behaviour in some applications

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Earlier today I installed
  linux-headers-3.13.0-59
  linux-headers-3.13.0-59-generic
  linux-image-3.13.0-59-generic
  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-59-generic
  and after that some applications, most notably steam, started to behave strange, e.g. in steam installed software was "invisible" and the application install dialog stated "Disk Space Available: 0"

  Counter checks by booting some older kernels (48 to 58) fixed that
  behaviour. A very quick cross check with another system seem to prove
  this observation.

  I do an educated guess: my steam is sitting on /archive/steam so I can
  share it over network and local users. /archive is a soft link to
  /home/archive coz I often move this one around a lot. I have the odd
  feeling kernel -59 is having issues with soft links and/or steam is
  handling soft links in a weird way which broke with -59. All other
  software affected is somehow connected to soft links, be it a small
  "readlink" from bash or postgresql.

  Sorry for being a bit vague right now, more details after I return
  from work and have time to experiment with avoiding soft links while
  using my affected applications.
