Debugging reportbug.

I've been hit by #610348 for some time now. I didn't comment on the bug report because I failed to find useful information to add there.

I've tried several things:

• using strace, one can find that reportbug freeze waiting for a returning futex.
• using ltrace, the freeze happen while calling sem_wait. It also happen sooner: the gui is not opened yet.
• using gdb I can sees that the sem_wait call have been made from PyThread_acquire_lock, but this seem only logical.

All this together give me no useful information. Further testing show that:

• the freeze don't always happen at the same time, and using python2.5 seem to make it happen latter.
• Trying to run it in another environment (say gnome) or with another user do not solve this for me.
• The problem don't exist in a brand new chroot, prooving it's a configuration problem. But which one?
• using meld I've tried to find significant difference between the two /etc, but found nothing that explain the problem.

I have no idea on what to do next to find where is the problem...
