This bug was fixed in the package udev - 147~-6.1 --------------- udev (147~-6.1) karmic-proposed; urgency=low
* udev/udev-node.c: Properly close directory handles to fix a major fd leak which caused hotplugging to fail entirely. (LP: #463347) * udev/udevd.c, handle_inotify(): Fix datatype for FIONREAD ioctl return type. It must be an int, not an ssize_t; the latter causes uninitialized values and tries to allocate a 15 digit number of bytes, unless the upper half of the variable just happens to be zeroed.
