Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnushogi
I am using gnushogi and xshogi 1.3-9 from the Feisty repositories.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Start xshogi
2. Play a move or two against the computer in order to get it to launch the
gnushogi subprocess
3. Exit xshogi using the window manager's "X" button instead of xshogi's "Exit"
button.
4. Do a "ps aux | grep gnushogi"
You will see that gnushogi continues running even though xshogi has been
stopped, with no way of stopping it short of killing the process by
hand.
This is a very big deal because the longer gnushogi is running, the
deeper it will inspect the game tree. After about an hour after doing
this, gnushogi will be in the 90+% range of CPU usage and will cause a
VERY visible slowdown in the system.
This bug is reproducible on every Ubuntu installation I've ever
encountered.
I am not a gnushogi developer, but I don't think this would be a very
hard bug to fix, but its consequences are quite severe.
