/usr/sbin/htt forking dozens of times a second

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040809 Description of problem: My CPU load was at 100%, but nothing significant was appearing in "top". Investigating further by typing "ps" twice in rapid sucesssion reveals that about 100-150 PIDs were being used a second. I managed to spot transitory threads of /usr/sbin/htt in a "ps ax" and tried killing the parent /usr/bin/htt. As soon as I did this my CPU load went down to near zero, and the rapid increase of PID numbers has stopped. So I believe that /usr/sbin/htt was rapidly forking then killing new threads (which brought my system to its knees, CPU-wise) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iiimf-server-11.4-41 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. install the iimf-server package 2. 3. Actual Results: CPU load at 100% with no apparent cause Expected Results: This package shouldn't take up 100% CPU time, or fork hundred of times a second. Additional info:
Hi Dave, This bug sounds very similar to bug 126647. Would you like to try the latest rawhide 12.0.1.-1 (major release)? Please let me know if problem still presists for you. Thanks, Lawrence
Since this bug is for the development of FC and installed iiimf-server is too old, this bug should be marked as DUPLICATED then. if you could still reproduce this problem on even the latest package, please reopen a bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 126647 ***
