Bug 74313 – sylpheed-claws with TLS support, processor spikes to 100% and program locks

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Ian Truelsen 2004-12-13 11:46:18 UTC]

When I try to download mail from Gmail, which requires TLS to connect, the processor spikes up to 100% and sylpheed-claws locks. I have to killall -9 to end the process. It will work the first time on a reboot, but after that, everytime, I get the above.

I think that this must be an openssl problem, but after re-installing openssl and then rebuilding sylpheed-claws against it, the same thing is happening.

While this is not a crash per se, I got this from gdb when the problem occurs:

0x406a984b in read () from /lib/libpthread.so.0

This was working up until yesterday, but there is nothing that I can see in the list of upgrades that could have caused this. Here is what I have upgraded in the previous 3 days:

libxml2
gtk+
libxslt
libgtop
imlib2
libtool
enchant
binutils
gzip
gnumeric

Can you check with another mail program if this is sylpheed related or not?
