           Summary: shutdown freezes due to systemd-journald crash
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: hp4everything at googlemail.com
          Hardware: ARM
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

I'm trying to run pulseaudio as service on a headless Raspberry Pi platform
with most recent packages:

ArchLinuxArm OS : Linux 3.10.28-1-ARCH
systemd 208-10 
pulseaudio 4.0-6

Starting and stopping pulseaudio via systemd regularly leads to system-freezes
during shutdown caused by systemd-journald crashes ("out of memory" is the last
console message).

I was able to simply reproduce this by issuing the simple command sequence:

pulseaudio --daemon
pulseaudio -k

In about every second case this leads to crash of the systemd-journald process
with a subsequent restart. Probably because the restart isn't possible during
shutdown the system freezes.

Systemd-developers should be able to handle any misbehaviour of daemons when
shutting down daemons.


Console-listing:

~ >ps -aux | grep systemd-journald

systemd-journald

As can be seen the systemd-journald has been restarted after the second
sequence.
