We need more information. Can you reproduce problem? Can you reproduce problem as non-root? Does it specific to 'dd'? Can you provide typescript [script(1)] of how things go wrong on your computer? You use AppArmor. Does pidof have profile? Is there anything about pidof(1) in AppArmor logs? -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once every 24 hours.
