Source-Version: 7.64.0-2
Severity: serious
Control: affects -1 rtorrent

Hi!

I've started noticing rtorrent busy-looping at some points after
finishing a torrent. stracing and gdb'ing the process it was doing
that in its main loop, spamming on gettimeofday() and epoll_wait().

Checking the rtorrent dependencies I've not seen much suspicious
updated recently, except for curl. I checked then the upstream bug
trackers and noticed quite many instances of "100% cpu usage" reports,
such as <https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/issues/580>. And that
one points to old and new curl issue. The last instance of it appears
to have been fixed with <https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/4015fae>
in 7.64.1.

So I think curl should be either upgraded to that release, or the
relevant commits cherry-picked.

Thanks,
Guillem
