We thought deploying with the debug symbols would be good enough. Unfortunately, on systems where multiple people log in and out all day, this bug eventually leads to no usable login screens.
I think the following is happening. Each time this bug occurs, a virtual terminal is left hanging with no login prompt, and GDM starts on a new virtual terminal. Eventually, GDM runs out of clean virtual terminals to start on, and no one can log in with GDM. At this point, restarting GDM does not reset these virtual terminals. "service gdm stop" and "service gdm restart" will always report that gdm is not running. "service gdm start" reports that it has started gdm. It seems like the only solution is to reboot. This makes this bug a higher priority for us. We can't fully deploy lucid if people won't be able to log in.
