[Bug 1534090] [NEW] 'call to get_tasks_recursive failed' errors from su

[Tim Edwards]

Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 14.04 all of a sudden I'm seeing these two error messages coming up every time I use su -, whether in a script or interactive shell:
call to remove-on-empty (freezer:0) failed: invalid request
call to get_tasks_recursive failed: Invalid arguments received in reply

Example and how to reproduce:

root at localhost:~# su - test "echo hello"
call to remove-on-empty (freezer:0) failed: invalid request
-su: echo hello: No such file or directory
call to get_tasks_recursive failed: Invalid arguments received in reply
call to get_tasks_recursive failed: Invalid arguments received in reply
root at localhost:~# su - test
call to remove-on-empty (freezer:0) failed: invalid request
test at localhost:~$ 


This only seems to affect Ubuntu 14.04
