Help init process looping - sluggish phone

[biterror]

(HTC Desire running 2.2) Sometimes the init process enters a busy loop, consuming all CPU time. This has happened to me three or four times now. When it happens, Android System Info shows 100% CPU usage and if you run top in a terminal emulator, you can see that it's the init process eating up the CPU. This makes the phone real slow and the only cure I know of is a reboot.

I was going to check out the logs while the init was looping, but I forgot.

I don't know how to repeat this - today it happened when I exitted VLC Stream and Convert, but it happened before I even installed this application.

I think this happened before the 2.2 upgrade as well and my son said his Xperia X10 eats the battery real fast sometimes - so maybe the same problem exists in Android 1.6 already.

Anyone else seen this?

I posted it in the generic area because this might not be a HTC specific problem.. I guess I'll get no replies, anyway :-I

This is a known problem and is being discussed here:

Hopefully we will find a fix soon!!
