However, I am not marking this as "fixed upstream" because I don't know
that it was a kernel change that resolved it.

Title:
  killall -9 firefox fails to work in raring

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Something is wrong in raring.  After upgrade, I have twice run into a
  problem where firefox takes over 100% of a CPU, X takes 100% of
  another, and the desktop is completely unresponsive (even to the point
  that the cursor doesn't move and I can't switch VTs).

  The reason I'm filing this bug against the kernel, however, is that
  this time I decided to kill -9 firefox... and *it's not working*.

  So something is seriously wrong with this kernel, because kill -9
  shouldn't fail.

  $ uname -a
  Linux virgil 3.8.0-4-generic #8-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 1 18:02:56 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  $

  More debugging information will be available once I figure out how to successfully recover the desktop session.
