Public bug reported: I've noticed a trend lately that whenever I use iotop, and close the terminal instead of quitting, that the cpu utilization reaches 100%, and stays there. I have to kill the pid before it settles down.
I'm using xubuntu 12.10x64 fully updated, To reproduce: open terminal sudo iotop close terminal open new terminal top sort by cpu usage with 'c' notice that iotop is munching on cpu.
