Public bug reported:
I have noticed (via the postinst script of Beyond Compare), that
`kde4-config -v` in the root directory ("/") goes mad:
% cd /
% kde4-config --version 2>&1 | head -20

`kde4-config --prefix` works fine, but also `kde4-config --help` goes mad.
When redirecting stderr, it "only" takes a few seconds:
% time kde4-config --version 2>/dev/null
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE: 4.13.1
kde4-config: 1.0
kde4-config --version 2> /dev/null 5,17s user 0,46s system 99% cpu 5,644
total
% time kde4-config --help 2>&1|wc -l

wc -l 0,64s user 2,19s system 34% cpu 8,247 total
It appears to look at the following files:

/boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-30-generic,
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss3.so,
