Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: zenity
This happens on one one of my 2 Gutsy installations:
$ zenity --version
2.19.2
$ zenity --calendar # doesn't matter if it's calendar or an other option
[2] 21245
$ top -n 1
[...]
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
21245 hcz 25 0 29772 16m 14m R 92.3 1.9 0:05.02 zenity
Note the 92% CPU load.
$ strace -o st zenity --calendar
$ less st
[...]
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
gettimeofday({1190107409, 553219}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2147483647) = 0
gettimeofday({1190107409, 553298}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
gettimeofday({1190107409, 553376}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2147483647) = 0
[... etc., ad nauseam ...]
Of course, all other applications get slowed down quite remarkable while this
is running.
My other installation of Gutsy on another machine behaves well under the same
circumstances.
