Some quick tests suggest that this issue only seems to affect long runs
of nul bytes (even if they are terminated by visible chars + a '\n').

  adt-upstart/?, upstart's test fail almost all the time, on

  ok 53 - with single line command writing fast and exiting
  not ok 54 - with single line command writing lots of data fast and exiting
   wrong value for bytes, expected 3145728 got 3018027

  FAIL: test_job_process

  Sometimes they succeed on one architecture, and with lots of luck on
  both, but this is way too flaky to be an useful test. This keeps
  blocking the propagation of other packages from -proposed.

  This was most likely triggered by the kernel update from 3.18 to 3.19.
