This is worse than that: even if no applications are attached to the
terminal (except the shell) and no applications are even running in
foreground or background in the terminal, I still get spam by
kbuildsycoca4 in the terminal (e.g. when doing a package upgrade
from *another* terminal).
It doesn't output just a few lines, but hundreds of lines! Due to
this bug, I've lost the temporary data that were in this terminal.
According to the Debian severity rules, this should be "grave"
because of data loss.
