Looks like an upstream bug to me. Could you test 3.14.2?
i tried it with the following packages, but still no improvement: [ebuild R ] net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.1-r1 USE="ssl -X -diskio -doc -elf -ipv6 -lm_sensors -mfd-rewrites -minimal -perl -python -rpm (-selinux) -sendmail -smux -tcpd" [ebuild R ] sys-power/apcupsd-3.14.2 USE="ncurses nls snmp usb -cgi -doc -gnome -vhosts # root 2449 95.2 0.0 4316 952 ?

Taking over. Michael you let this package rot so much, since I need it, I'm going to take it over and take care. Please don't say I didn't give you enough notice, last year I already asked you this much and now I'm simply tired.
Please reopen if still a problem with 3.14.5 (and update the summary if it's the case to help me identify the bug). Although it's probably upstream, you might want to check the backtrace, look at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml for some information on how to do that.
