           Summary: Shortly after starting KDE, Akonadi locks up system
                    with several Zombie <defunct> processes.
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 1.3.90
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: vkrause at kde.org
        ReportedBy: root at sweetismarvelous.com
                CC: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

OS:                Linux

* Sorry if this is a DUP. There a lot of "akonadi crash" bugs, but I couldn't
find any about zombie processes. 

It never crashes with a core dump/back trace. It just locks up my GUI. If I
wait a minute or two, KDE will go black then kick back to the login GUI. Some
times if I'm quick I'm able to Alt + Ctrl + F1 to pull up a console. From
console "top" shows a few akonadi processes taking up near 100% CPU time and
lots of memory. "ps -auxw | grep akonad" shows the following:

If I kill the processes I am able to use the GUI again. In an attempt to fix
this I deleted my .kde directory (minus kwallet). I also deleted
.local/share/akonadi. I also removed the googledata resource (apt-get remove
akonadi-kde-resource-googledata). But it still locks up my GUI. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
It happens every time I start my system, but I'm not sure how I got it into
this state. I had installed ankonadi-kde-resource-googledata several days
before. However, it had worked without issue after this. I also recently moved
the laptop hard drive from a 1 year old EliteBook 8530w to a new EliteBook
8530w. The only difference in laptops is 200Mhz more CPU. (unless its a race
condition, I doubt the new hardware is the cause)
