Package: binfmt-support
Version: 2.1.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Booting up; now happening about once in four times. One reads that:

[ Cylon eye ] A start job is running for Enable support for additional 
executable binary formats (3h 7min 57s / no limit)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Discovered that I can ssh in (when at home) and so I collected the
information below.

Alternatively I have pressed ^C on the console and/or CtrlAltDel and/or
the power button.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Sometimes, the Cylon eye freezes and the clock stops counting up
(or sometimes neither of these).

Regardless, I have to hard reset eventually.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Some sort of error message and perhaps a recovery mode login,
or else some sort of closedown.

A secondary observation: logging in over the network via ssh takes much
longer than usual, as does then executing /bin/su -
