Package: kernel-package
Version: 13.014+nmu2
Severity: important
this pattern is simple to reproduce. Happens only in the install target.
In the install target, for a standard modular kernel, the number of
kernel modules are 4400+. From what I see, for each .ko, a process is
getting spawned and not exiting clean, thus leading to a fork bomb.
