[Bug 876387] Re: fuser forking uncontrollably in cron job

[Vladimir Rutsky]

This bug affects my system in following way: I have "cameramonitor"
package installed which periodically calls `fuser /dev/video0`, also I
have "nproc" limits set to 600 in /etc/security/limits.conf, so
periodically all my threads resources are getting exhausted, which leads
to faults in some programs that tries to create thread at that moment.

The most noticable problem is with Pidgin --- it quite often hangs in
pthread_cond_wait() with stack trace similar to specified here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666957 looks like because
gstreamer fails to fork.

Peter's patch helped, thanks!
