Description Trustin Lee 2009-04-20 19:02:10 UTC 
There are known issues with Pidgin XMPP and MSNM plugin, where pidgin takes up 100% CPU on disconnection or malformed data:

  * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490665
  * http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/8594

Fortunately, there are known fixes:

  * http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/1d533cebad7c0dbda8ec8ebee1334d27dcae5f9c
  * http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/881df138362222308d7b078687b7576861609e9c

The fixes will be included in 2.6.0, but I think it will not be released soon.  Could we have a new ebuild with the two patches above included?

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure an XMPP or MSNM account
2. Wait for a while

Actual Results:  
No high CPU consumption

Expected Results:  
100% CPU consumption until the application restarts

It seems like the jabber.c patch has been included in 2.5.5.  Sorry about the noise.  The soap.c patch seems valid though.
