The following reply was made to PR bin/119903; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bruce Cran <bruce@cran.org.uk> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, gaal.nix.rulez@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/119903: Fast increase in loading of the processor. Almost 100% for some seconds. Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 22:02:23 +0100 This seems to be a general problem with full-screen ncurses applications - I've seen it with ee, sysinstall, sade and tzsetup. When the controlling terminal is detached, the application starts using 100% CPU until the application is killed. One of the backtraces I obtained from ee was: #0 0x0000000800878dac in sigaction () from /lib/libc.so.7 #1 0x000000080066f282 in _nc_signal_handler () from /lib/libncurses.so.7 #2 0x000000080066edc2 in doupdate () from /lib/libncurses.so.7 #3 0x0000000000402552 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffebb8) at ee.c:622 Without debugging information in libncurses I can't tell if there's anything significant about it though. -- Bruce Cran
