Public bug reported: Pidgin started up when I logged in, and started using 100% of CPU. Unlike in the other bug reports, I have not sent or received any messages and haven't touched pidgin. It's not frozen, either - just laggy.
Here's the backtrace from gdb: #0 0x00007f7fe4b04c5d in write () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81 #1 0x00007f7fe53d276f in g_wakeup_signal (wakeup=0x7f7fe83d2340) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.0/./glib/gwakeup.c:238 #2 0x00007f7fe5390a19 in g_main_context_remove_poll_unlocked (context=<optimized out>, fd=<optimized out>) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.0/./glib/gmain.c:4184 #3 0x00007f7fe5390a74 in block_source (source=source@entry=0x7f7fe943a420) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.0/./glib/gmain.c:2943 #4 0x00007f7fe5393fb8 in g_main_dispatch (context=0x7f7fe83d9320) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.0/./glib/gmain.c:3031 #5 g_main_context_dispatch (context=context@entry=0x7f7fe83d9320) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.0/./glib/gmain.c:3630 #6 0x00007f7fe5394248 in g_main_context_iterate (context=0x7f7fe83d9320, block=block@entry=1, dispatch=dispatch@entry=1, self=<optimized out>) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.0/./glib/gmain.c:3701 #7 0x00007f7fe53946ba in g_main_loop_run (loop=0x7f7fe929a520) at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.36.0/./glib/gmain.c:3895 #8 0x00007f7fe660cfe7 in IA__gtk_main () at /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.17/gtk/gtkmain.c:1271 #9 0x00007f7fe80083bc in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffe1e455f8) at /build/buildd/pidgin-2.10.7/./pidgin/gtkmain.c:881 Output from strace: write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 recvfrom(6, 0x7f7fe83f06e4, 4096, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=21, events=POLLIN}, {fd=27, events=POLLIN}, {fd=25, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=26, events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=27, events=POLLOUT}], 13, 0) = 2 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=27, revents=POLLOUT}]) read(5, "\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 16) = 8 write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 recvfrom(27, 0x7f7fe9457050, 5, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 recvfrom(6, 0x7f7fe83f06e4, 4096, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=21, events=POLLIN}, {fd=27, events=POLLIN}, {fd=25, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=26, events=POLLIN}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=27, events=POLLOUT}], 13, 0) = 2 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=27, revents=POLLOUT}]) read(5, "\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 16) = 8 write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 According to /proc, fd=5 is "anon_inode:[eventfd]".
