How can you interact with the shell? Does it respond to input? Can you turn the screen on/off with the power button?

Good call! unity8 has clearly reached its fd limit. It seems to be leaking fds (can't tell if it's unity8 itself leaking or another component inside unity8, e.g., mir):

Unfortunately we didn't get a list of files for USC since it's running as root. If you still have the phone in that state could you rerun lsof with sudo?

The backtrace seems normal. USC is just waiting for work to do, nothing suspicious in this case.

So, the question is if this is indeed an instance of the same bug we have been investigating or a different bug you have uncovered.

I will follow the fd leak lead and see if I can get more information.
