[Bug 1301738] [NEW] upstart "Unable to watch configuration directory: No space left on device"

[Nick Semenkovich]

Public bug reported:

I recently upgraded to Trusty 14.04 and receive the following messages
in dmesg:

[  945.189268] init: upstart-udev-bridge main process (476) terminated with status 1
[  945.189277] init: upstart-udev-bridge main process ended, respawning
[  945.189405] init: upstart-socket-bridge main process (673) terminated with status 1
[  945.189412] init: upstart-socket-bridge main process ended, respawning
[  945.189507] init: upstart-file-bridge main process (1120) terminated with status 1
[  945.189513] init: upstart-file-bridge main process ended, respawning
[  955.783676] init: /etc/init: Unable to watch configuration directory: No space left on device
[  969.453559] init: /etc/init: Unable to watch configuration directory: No space left on device

The last (inotify?) messages about space aren't valid -- df shows every
device has tons of space available.
