Bug#333205: gamin: gam_server eating 100% cpu

[Fionn Behrens]

Package: gamin
Version: 0.1.5-2
Severity: important


Lately, gam_server tends to go into some kind of busy loop once or twice
a day and eat all available CPU time. If you google for "gam_server CPU
loop" you'll find that this is obviously not only my problem.
Unfortunately it seems like killing gam_server in response to its bugs
makes a whole lot of other gnome apps freaking out and going into
busyloops! So it would be nice if you came up with a solution soon.

This is a REALLY ITCHY bug!
