We currently have another process wedged on mayer.debian.org:

ioctl(0, TIOCNXCL, {0x1000 /* B??? */ -opost -isig -icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(0, TIOCNXCL, {0x1000 /* B??? */ -opost -isig -icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(0, TIOCNXCL, {0x1000 /* B??? */ -opost -isig -icanon echo ...}) = 0
....
ioctl(0, TIOCNXCL <unfinished ...>
Process 31649 detached
sgran at mayer:~$ sudo ls -l /proc/31649/fd
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2009-04-26 17:41 0 -> /dev/pts/2
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2009-04-26 17:41 1 -> /dev/pts/2
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2009-04-26 17:41 2 -> /dev/pts/2

I assume this will be some problem with debconf and file descriptors?
Let me or zobel know when I can kill this, as it's using lots of cpu
for no good reason.

Cheers,
