[Bug 165254] [NEW] timeoutd crashes after session 'break'

Binary package hint: timeoutd

The timeout daemon seems to kill itself after partially-succesful
session timeout action...

- firstly, it does not display x-window popups (any!) - messages are
echoed under console screen (virtual terminal next to that used/reserved
by gdm);

- after all (after the 'last' beep, when timeout limit is reached) it
crashes user's session - does not logging out but just restarts (?) gdm
- command 'last -10' says that user is still logged;

- timeoutd still tries to logout user XYZ (10 or more times with beep;
from '/var/log/syslogd'):

(...) timeoutd[12168]: User XYZ exceeded maximum daily limit (on for 486 minutes, max=180). 
(...) timeoutd[12168]: chk_ssh(): PID 11929 does not exist. Something went wrong. Ignoring.

After that it finishes his work ('ps -A|grep timeoutd' says nothing).
Now, the user XYZ is able to log in without any time restrictions...

Timeoutd process can be 'saved': another user should log in before last
beep occurs.
