Package: bittorrent
Version: 3.4.2-6
Severity: normal

bittorrent uses a lot of my processor's resources. upstream indicates
that there is a bug in libc on some unix systems (bsd and solaris).
they provide a command-line option as a workaround.  however, the Debian
version does not include this option.  details about the problem can be 
found in the bittorrent faq http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html#allmycpu.
does the problem even affect the linux version?  is there any other way
to reduce the cpu utilization of bittorrent?

thanks for the hard work.

mike
