Public bug reported:

This problem happened just after the upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04.

When trying to open a file in a directory under control of Mercurial, i.e. a directory which has .hg directory, emacs stops in its staring process. 
When this symptom occurs, in the minibuffer, it says:
Loading vc-hg...done

And the following is dumped to stderr:
(emacs:5305): GLib-WARNING **: GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid(). Most likely the process is ignoring SIGCHLD, or some other thread is invoking waitpid() with a nonpositive first argument; either behavior can break applications that use g_child_watch_add()/g_spawn_sync() either directly or indirectly.

Even when opening an unregistered file in a Mercurial-controlled directory, the same symptom happens.
It works when started alone (to open *scratch* buffer) and it's also OK to open a file not under control of Mercurial.
