Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: transmission
Since upgrading to Ibex, Transmission hangs my Dell XPS M1330
periodically. Sometimes it takes minutes, other times it can be a day or
so.
There is always a balloon pop-up saying something about the policy
stopping because of transmission and from there on the laptop hangs.
This is where the weird bit comes. If I press the power button, the
machine comes out of the hanging state but appears to be very slow. 30
seconds or so later the machine hangs again. Another power button press
results in the same outcome. Eventually after a few power button presses
it hangs completely. Trying to start another application whilst in this
stage makes the application hang on the 'loading xxxx' state.
The only way to get out of this is a hard reboot.
Transmission has become unusable in this version.

Lots of this in dmesg:

Although I'm not sure if this is related?
