Public bug reported:
Same scenario as Bug #1731796; probably same root cause.
Observed the lockup a bit more closely this time.
It began with compiz in Z state (according to top), consuming 100% of a
cpu. In this situation, it was possible to ssh to the system.
I was running software updater, and could see various activity by aptd,
dpkg, and htppd - the latter running as -apt or some similar named
system account.
Unfortunately, "software updater" is not a parent for this activity, so
I couldn't be sure that it had exited (and it might eventually have
blocked on compiz), but I waited until the apt/dpkg activity stopped
before power cycling.
This time the system came back much more sane - no need to run "dpkg
--reconfigure -a" from ssh.
NOTE - as well as the soft lockups (which I didn't verify this time), we
have the zombie process.
