Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2010-12-22 11:44:46 UTC
It seems that since bumping bug-buddy to 2.32.0-r1, things with bug-buddy do not work as expected anymore as bug-buddy starts spawning new bug-buddys.

Apparently this seems to be a bigger issue:

13:38 < plaes> is anyone else getting the bug-buddy forkbomb?
13:38 < Ke> yes
13:39 < Ford_Prefect> <-
13:39 < plaes> and why is there no bug report open?
13:43 < Ke> I asked here and noone confirmed
13:43 < plaes> :D
13:43  * plaes is writing a report
13:43 < Ke> also I don't run a full gnome session and that causes some bugs

Fixed with bump to -r2 (and removed -r1).
