I've just installed the mailman 2.1.2-7 package on a Debian sarge
(testing) system, and qrunner goes into an apparent infinite loop as
soon as it starts. Here's a snapshot from "top" shortly after running
"/etc/init.d/mailman start":
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ Command
4498 list 19 0 4656 4656 1844 R 99.7 0.5 0:48.36 python
4484 gward 9 0 940 940 748 R 0.3 0.1 0:00.17 top
Memory use is stable, hence my assumption that this is a garden-variety
infinite loop.
And "ps -fu list" reports this:
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
list 4492 1 0 02:42 ? 00:00:00 [mailmanctl]
list 4493 4492 0 02:42 ? 00:00:00 qrunner /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner
--runner=ArchRunner:0:1 -s
list 4494 4492 0 02:42 ? 00:00:00 qrunner /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner
--runner=BounceRunner:0:1 -s
list 4495 4492 0 02:42 ? 00:00:00 qrunner /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner
--runner=CommandRunner:0:1 -s
list 4496 4492 0 02:42 ? 00:00:00 qrunner /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner
--runner=IncomingRunner:0:1 -s
list 4497 4492 0 02:42 ? 00:00:00 qrunner /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner
--runner=NewsRunner:0:1 -s
list 4498 4492 97 02:42 ? 00:01:01 qrunner /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner
--runner=OutgoingRunner:0:1 -s
list 4499 4492 0 02:42 ? 00:00:00 qrunner /var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner
--runner=VirginRunner:0:1 -s
... so it's just one qrunner (OutgoingRunner) that's responsible for all
the CPU sucking.
Hmmm: there *are* files in the queue, but I'm not sure what they're
doing there or how they got there (this is a new, fairly inactive system
with no lists and no incoming traffic, apart from me testing things):
# cd /var/lib/mailman/
# find qfiles/ -type f
qfiles/out/1061532001.524745+03e15ef2a9a7d27904406a659cdb4922a204431b.pck

Any clues? I'll try to investigate more tomorrow evening.
