Bug Description
Binary package hint: checkbox
Ran "System testing" 5 days ago. Exited UI as usual after testing. Today noticed "backend" having cpu time around 7224 minutes, which is 5 days, so guess it had been looping ever since. Attaching to process with gdb didn't work, strace showed it reading infinite stream of data from fd 4.
