High CPU usage with glib main loop

[Morten Brix Pedersen <morten wtf dk>]

Hi,

I have a GTK app. which uses sockets to communicate with a server, I have added
a watch on the file descriptor with g_io_add_watch() and everything works just
fine. However, sometimes the CPU usage of the app. goes to 100% and it seems
that the time is used in the glib main loop, attaching to the process in gdb
and pressing ^C almost always results in poll().

It's not because data is coming in on the socket all the time, CPU usage
is at 100% even when the client is idling.

A minor note: It *seem* that it only occurs when connected to two
servers (that is, two sockets and therefor two watches)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

  - Morten.
