Public bug reported:
For some time, pidgin often (but not always) freezes for long seconds
when I'm typing a message mainly when a new message arrives at the same
moment: windows is not refreshed etc for even half a minute sometimes
longer! The strange thing that if once it occures, it will keep freezing
again and again. But sometimes I'm using pidgin for hours and no such a
problem. I've tried to strace the running process in this situation with
-tt -T flags:
12:43:42.604294 fsync(43) = 0 <2.684694>
12:43:45.289089 fsync(45 <unfinished ...>
I've hit CTRL-C here for strace. It seems it waits in an fsync() syscall
here? For file descriptor 45:
12:43:42.603013 open("/home/lgb/.purple", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 45 <0.000019>
12:43:42.603104 fcntl64(45, F_GETFD) = 0 <0.000011>
12:43:42.603172 fcntl64(45, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 <0.000012>
But it seems to long to fsync() for fd 43 as well ... Strange. Btw, fd
43 is:
12:43:42.602607 open("/home/lgb/.purple/cap.db-journal",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 43 <0.000061>
12:43:42.602752 fcntl64(43, F_GETFD) = 0 <0.000012>
12:43:42.602822 fcntl64(43, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 <0.000012>
12:43:42.602892 fstat64(43, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
<0.000012>
