[Bug 1447756] [NEW] segfault in log.c code causes phone reboot loops

[Oliver Grawert]

Public bug reported:

We recently started getting reprots from phone users that their devices
go into a reboot loop after changing the language or getting an OTA
upgrade (either of both end with a reboot of the phone)

after a bit of research we collected the log at
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10872934/

this shows a segfault of upstarts init binary in the log.c code:

[    6.999083]init: log.c:819: Assertion failed in log_clear_unflushed: log->unflushed->len
[    7.000279]init: Caught abort, core dumped
[    7.467176]Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000600

** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
