Well, once I found a bug but never reported it since it was more my
fault than upstart's. In fact I made upstart enter an infinite loop,
thus eating 100% of my CPU. No other choice to restart.

It was in fact a service that contained:

	start on starting
	start on started
	start on stopping
	start on stopped

The purpose of this service was to print on the console little
information about what was going on. But This service starting would
make itself start again ... indefinitely.

Perhaps it could be useful to detect such cases.
