[Nut-upsuser] Upssched 100% CPU after updating Debian 12

Hello,

  Thank you for the report and I don't recall any similar issues.

  Unfortunately, upssched did not have any "native" enablement of debug
verbosity in 2.8.0 and older releases (some added with
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/1864 recently), so maybe the
best way to get more info at the moment would be to watch syscalls made
when it begins to hog CPU and make educated guesses from there, e.g.:

    # strace -f -ttt -T -p "`ps -ef | grep -w upssched | grep -v grep | awk
'{print $2}'`"

  I suppose when hogging the CPU it has some reason to quickly interrupt
its processing loop - perhaps a lack of some file (socket?) it waits on,
etc.

Hope this helps,
Jim Klimov
