Actually I've seen occasional hangs like this on Fedora; it seems to happen
when
trying to open a few particular files. The end of the strace looks quite like
the issue you filed on Ubuntu:
futex(0x66c7e0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x66c7e0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x66c7e0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x66c7e0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x66c7e0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x66c7e0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x11236ac, FUTEX_WAKE_OP, 1, 1, 0x11236a8, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0,
FUTEX_OP_CMP_EQ, 0}) = 1
futex(0x1123680, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1
write(19, "\0", 1) = 1
futex(0x112debc, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL <unfinished ...>
