Error in commit causes hung 'sudo write' threads
Open, NormalPublic

Description

It appears that when a config change commit is initiated, but is unsuccessful in completion (for one of a few reasons), a hung thread for 'sudo write' to return a message to the pty of the user committing the change occurs.

The configuration subsystem then becomes inoperable until hung threads are cleaned up.
