[Bug 689593] Re: 2x100% CPU and memory usage growth when setting bootable flag in palimpsest

[Andrew]

In case it's of use, I've also captured an image of my SanDisk
SDCZ40-016G immediately after encountering this bug when trying to
install ubuntu-13.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso using Startup Disk Creator
in Ubuntu 12.10. The image is 1.6 GB compressed. Let me know if you need
a copy.

Bug description:
  When unsetting the bootable flag on a partition using palimpsest, the
  following things happen:

  - udisks-helper-modify-partition and udisks-daemon processes use 100% CPU each
  - udisks-daemon chews about 18MiB of memory each second

  This problem exists regardless of whether the partition is mounted or
  not.
