Package: python2.6 Severity: grave Version: 2.6.6-8 Tags: patch
While playing with a server/client process communication with the help of the asyncore module (e.g. like in [1]), I stumbled over the following issue:
When using asyncore to open a listening AF_UNIX file socket, the CPU usage goes up to 100%.
This has been reported against Python upstream [2] and a patch is available from upstream [3], as well. Please patch-in that fix into the Debian python2.6 package in Debian squeeze.
