I'm not sure if the broken symlink/directory listing
problem was ultimately causing this issue or not. There wasn't a
sure fire way for me to get a thread (and even multiple threads
at times) to start eating up CPU time. It simply happened often
enough (multiple times a day and sometimes multiple times an
hour) that I wrote a cron script to look for it and restart
Cherokee when necessary.
I can test 0.4.27 though to see if the problem has
disappeared as soon as it's released and Gunnar gets it packaged
for Debian. I can even post the script I was using to check for
the runaway threads. I was grepping for SleepAVG in /proc/`cat
/var/run/cherokee.pid`/task/*/status and restarting whenever the
SleepAVG time was 0 or 1 or something. When I checked the hung
processes by hand initially, usually several threads would be
sitting at 0%. So yeah, not sure what was happening exactly, but
it would definitely cause Cherokee to crap on future requests.
