Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.In a X windows environment on a Dell PowerEdge 4600 (or via ssh) run the program xosview. 2. 3. Actual Results: xosview consumes 99% of one cpu, but doesn't display any information. Expected Results: xosview launches, displaying the GUI window.

Running on a non-SMP kernel (single CPU, no hyperthreading xosview runs fine on the same machine. With the SMP kernel, and hyper threading, the two physical CPUs show up as 4 total CPUs, maybe not compatible with xosview..?
it's fixed in xosview-1.8.0-3. You find it in the rawhide
