Bug#512214: gamin: gam_server consumes full CPU

[Ali Sayed]

Hello -

I have noticed the same thing on my Squeeze AMD64 system, not sure when exactly 
this started happening but its made a perfectly usable Athlon 64 machine almost 
useless.  I killed /usr/lib/gamin/gam_server but it started up again.

The solution presented (modify /etc/gamin/gaminrc ) might be acceptable in 
unstable but I don't think its a fix in testing.

I have also noticed that Thunar and Pcmanfm will not browse directories deeper 
than one or two levels since I ran apt-get update a few days ago. These 2 might 
be related issues.

My last apt-get update was on Mon Apr 26 14:14:39 2010.

I've used Debian since version 2.0 and never filed a bug, but this is annoying 
enough to make me file one...

thanks

-ali

Bug#512214: gamin: gam_server consumes full CPU

[Christoph Egger]

Package: gamin
Version: 0.1.9-2
Severity: normal

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi!

  gam_server, which seems to be part of gamin, just got one of my CPUs
constantly to 100%, refused to be killed. I needed to reboot the 
notebook to get things back to usual work.

  Unfortunately this seems hardly reproducible to me.

Regards

  Christoph
