Title:
  AFS gets stuck in an infinite loop, 100% cpu, can't kill -9

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I've seen this a few times, but have not been able to pinpoint the
  exact problem, but I think it's better to have bug report to help
  track it..

  The issue is that in certain cases, I end up with a process that's in
  Running state, seemingly running at 100% in userspace, but can't be
  kill -9'ed. It seems to occur mostly when a process exhausts certain
  ressources..

  I've seen it happen in a VM (using kvm) with 128MB RAM using the
  alternate installer, where localedef ends up in this state (I'm not
  entirely sure, but I suspect that it eats more RAM than is available).
  The server install is unaffected (fewer applications installed, so
  localedef hasn't as much to do, I suppose).

  I've also seen the same behaviour happen while trying to build java
  inside an sbuild where it ran out of disk space. I have a suspicion
  that that particular case might be more related to schroot pulling
  away the snapshot lv from underneat the process, but I figured I'd
  mention it anyway in case they might be related.
