[Bug 44196] Re: gnome-cups-icon uses 100% CPU

[Richard Wilbur]

Just for kicks I typed:

(gdb) next
Single stepping until exit from function pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2,
which has no line number information.

and the processor usage immediately rose to 100% (with CPU fan start).
It doesn't seem to make it back from that call, as far as I can see.  On
the other hand, why should pthread_cond_wait() take up large amounts of
CPU time?  That seems like a poor implementation.  Maybe gdb is confused
about what call gnome-cups-icon is actually in because of the above
noted stack problems.

Any thoughts?

Richard
