Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.13-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
On my system alsaconf acts as a forkbomb. It is therefore unusable. Steps to reproduce: 1. Login as root. 2. Run alsaconf. 3. Press enter on welcome screen. 4. On lower part of the screen one can see "unloading snd-emu10k-synth" or sth. similar. 5. After a few seconds mouse starts lagging, then keyboard stops reacting. Hard disk drive LED blinks as hell (swapping?). 6. If one has good luck, can see multitude processes of modprobe/sh -c pairs. I don't know full command line, because had chance to execute ps aux (without w) and after two repetitions I didn't want to reproduce it further. Looking at /proc/config.gz reveals that I have modules unloading enabled.
