Yelp eats 100% of the CPU for a few seconds. Then it prints the
following to the console:

    Error: Malformed line (no ':').  Ignoring entry
    Error: Malformed line (no ':').  Ignoring entry
    Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x27a9)!

and freezes (stops repainting its window). gdb says:
