Vulkan Shaders processing endlessly #264

Sometimes, when steam is fossilizing the shaders, the process runs endlessly. Here is an example log file from shader_log.txt:

When i skip or cancel in steam window, steam becomes unresponsive, i can force quit steam after a while and restart it, then recompilation will succeed. however, something in the background is still processing, because the system cannot be shut down properly afterwards (it freezes on suspend / shutdown).

I suspect some kind of resource exhaustion, however, I cannot find anything when investigating (CPU, Mem, Disk are not exhausted). Please advice
