Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
Occasionally my whole desktop hangs, only the mouse cursor moves. Compiz is
running at 100% cpu usage in this loop (forever!):
0x00007f3a515866d0 <+224>: mov (%rax),%rax
=> 0x00007f3a515866d3 <+227>: cmp %edx,0x10(%rax)
0x00007f3a515866d6 <+230>: jne 0x7f3a515866d0
<_ZN13InotifyScreen13processEventsEv+224>
0x00007f3a515866d3 in InotifyScreen::processEvents() () from
/usr/lib/compiz/libinotify.so
I'm running natty amd64 with gnome2 (ubuntu classic) shell.
After having a look at the source code of this specific plugin I suspect
that there is a bug in an iterator loop. I created a patch, but haven't
had time to test it so far. Maybe this helps.
