[Bug 1281061] [NEW] initctl eating cpu on mako #181

[Alan Pope ㋛]

Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu image #181 on mako my phone is hot. I checked top and found
initctl eating 96% of the cpu..

This may be related to bug 1281057 as my phone refuses to lock.

Unfortunately I couldn't get the bug report done on the phone because
the battery died (unsurprisingly) mid way through reporting it. Managed
to get this output from top though.
