[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#993051: avahi-daemon CPU usage increases over time

[Andreas Schneider]

I have the exact same problem for quite some time already (certainly 6
months, likely more), using Debian sid.

I'm surprised that this bug report is the only mention of the issue I could
find on the net. It's reproducible every time I switch on my printer, but
it takes quite some hours, in the order of a few days, before it turns into
a significant problem. Running `sudo avahi-daemon -k` kills the process and
a new one is started, which behaves well until I switch on my printer.

It looks like Ryan already did what I was planning to do, i.e. debug
through the daemon and do some Monte Carlo profiling. If there is anything
I can do to help triage the problem, please let me know. For now I can only
share details of my home setup that may or may not be helpful: the printer
is an HP Deskjet-3630; DNS is handled by a FritzBox! but I believe the
issue also showed up while I was using my home grown dnsmasq server.

Best,

Andreas
