Title:
sucks up 100% of CPU when started via tsocks
Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
random.ircd.de apparently requires a German IP so I use tsocks to
reroute my traffic. "tsocks pidgin" then indeed logs me in
successfully but consumes 100% of CPU and input is sluggish (pidgin
consumes the CPU cycles, not tsocks)
