Public bug reported: I hit a case where dnsmasq was running at 100% cpu and not responding to requests. This is a freshly installed and updated trusty VM which has just been dist-upgraded to utopic.
At boot/login it seemed OK, but then I bought up firefox and it couldn't get to it's home page, top showed dnsmasq eating cpu. strace'ing dnsmasq showed it doing: select(8, [0 3 6 7], [], [6], NULL) = 1 (in [0]) recvmsg(0, 0x7ffffba98110, 0) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation on non-socket) accept(0, 0, NULL) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation on non-socket) select(8, [0 3 6 7], [], [6], NULL) = 1 (in [0]) constantly. fd 8 is a pipe (not sure where to - back to another thread?) This is the dnsmasq kicked off by a default network manager setup; not changed any networking settings.
