Description of problem:
I use RCS with the RCS/ subdirectory for my config files.

When starting acpid while /etc/acpid/events/RCS/ exists, acpid eats
100% of CPU time. Probably acpid should ignore directories when
scanning /etc/acpid/events, or explicitly only accept files.

The busy-looping acpid doesn't even react to SIGTERM.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
acpid-1.0.2-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir /etc/acpid/events/foobar
2. /etc/init.d/acpid stop
3. /etc/init.d/acpid start
Comment 1 Miloslav Trmač 2004-08-09 13:36:26 UTC 
Should be fixed in acpid-1.0.3-2, to show up in rawhide soon.
