[Bug 488849] [NEW] memory eated: poll_schedule_timeout

[dino99]

Public bug reported:

on Karmic 32 bits: the memory is progressively eatened and semm to never
be freed.

there is nothing in the logs, but when i open "monitor system", in the
process tab:

- every process ended with : poll_schedule_timeout
- randomly, some of those are in "futex_wait_queue_me" state, then failed in "poll_schedule_timeout"

It's the first time that i have this problem on a upto date system, but
googling around, i've found lots of related links on other kernel or
distro. Some patch seen on linuxhq / lkml / kerneltrap

This has happen with these process running:
-boinc 6.10.17
- firefox 3.5.5
- pulseaudio 0.9.19-0ubuntu4
