Title:
  bluetoothd consumes 100% CPU when scanning for devices, system hangs

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm trying to use the bluedevil wizard on Kubuntu 15.04  to add a new device (BT headset). The scan window opens but no device is found.
  Meanwhile, both cpu and memory usage start to increase until memory is 100% full and the system hangs!
  If I just kill bluedevil, then dbus-daemon keeps using 100% cpu, the only way to stop it is by manually stopping the bluetooth service.
