Package: w3-el-e21
Version: 4.0pre.2001.10.27-6
Severity: normal
I haven't yet been able to narrow this down 100%, but these are the
symptoms.
1) Using current CVS gnus
2) Using nnslashdot and refreshing the group list
3) Using debian's emacs21, w3-el-e21, etc
No progress seems to be getting made and the CPU is at 100%. A

Piece of strace at the time:

RESTART|0x4000000}, 8) = 0
write(12, "GET /slashdot.xml HTTP/1.1\r\nMIME"..., 693) = 693
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {0x80b3d68, [], SA_RESTART|0x4000000}, {0x814e35c, [], SA_
RESTART|0x4000000}, 8) = 0
write(5, "\27\0\2\0\1\0\0\0", 8) = 8
read(5, 0xbfffc13c, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavai
lable)
select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [5])
--- SIGIO (I/O possible) ---
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
read(5, "\1\0\265`\0\0\0\0,\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\331\31"..., 32) = 32
getpid() = 14752
kill(14752, SIGIO) = 0
--- SIGIO (I/O possible) ---
ioctl(5, 0x541b, [0]) = 0
ioctl(4, 0x541b, [0]) = 0
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
file descriptor 5 is for X. 12 is the socket for slashdot. This is
from the output of:
strace -p 2>&1 | grep -v '^gettimeofday'
if I don't exclude the gettimeofday call, the screen is filled with
them. That appears to be the only syscall made and it looks like a
tight loop. The other data appears to only be housekeeping for
emacs.
Let me know if there is additional info that might be of use.
