[Bug 729827] [NEW] at-spi-registry crash and make the system unusable on Natty

[RIVIERE Aurélien]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: at-spi

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 and Unity. My system is up to date from march 5th.
Often when I use an IM application like Empathy or emesene, Google Chrome (somebody else had the same problem using Firefox), or a music player like Banshee or Totem, my system become unusable. Indeed, most of the softwares freeze, and I can't launch a terminal or a webbrowser form Unity Launcher.
Tiping `top` on the tty1, I saw "at-spi-registry => 89% CPU" (on 3.3GHz quad-core)
I launched the command `sudo skill at-spi-registry` and the "tty8" became usable again.

** Affects: at-spi (Ubuntu)
