Bug#735202: speakup freezes system when trying to paste
Hey Ben!
After reading your findings I wanted to see if I can get at least these
"scheduling" messages. So I started my 3.12.1 kernel and did some
speakupping, while compiling glib in the background! Bingo, I got "BUG
... scheduling ..." message on console.. and an immediate freeze as well :(
So these are my conditions for the freeze:
1. fire kernel 3.12.1
2. launch screen and a command "while [[ 1 ]]; do find|wc; done" and
detach this screen (C-a d)
3. do some speakup pasting, "cat" is not necessary to experience the
freeze after at most 3 pastes
The "BUG" message also contained the word "find". Something to do with
my "find" command perhaps.
I can't freeze nor get "scheduling" on 3.13.1 kernel. So I confirm
Jude's report, that this kernel version seems to be free of the bug.
I can't freeze the kernel without a background task.
Ben, is it still important to test your patches? I would have to do this
hard job of compiling the kernel to test them, but if you need it, I'll
do the job.
