#11074: Pidgin eats up processor soon after starting
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  patman0623    |     Owner:  rekkanoryo

Component:  unclassified  |   Version:  2.6.4     
 Keywords:  Ubuntu,       |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I did not experience this problem until after 2.6.4 was installed, though
 it may be an Ubuntu Karmic issue, as I installed both at the same time.

 After Pidgin starts, it will be successful for a small amount of time, but
 then my process monitor indicates it is eating up all free processor
 cycles. It will not stop until Pidgin is exited - even closing all windows
 and disabling all accounts so I can see the "Welcome to Pidgin" screen
 does not stop it.

 Apologies for not having debug symbols; they are not available on the
 Ubuntu repository for 2.6.4.

 As you can see, debugging seems to indicate it's a call to
 /sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c

 I consider it to be a rather major bug, as Pidgin has become unusable for
 me unless I don't mind my computer heating up like a volcano.
