I have a couple of large Cygwin-X11 compiled X clients that sometimes start
thrashing
the CPU when they should otherwise be blocked in a select()/poll() system call
waiting
for socket or file I/O. I haven't figured out any straightforward way to
reproduce this
problem. Maybe not coincidentally I see there are one or more outstanding
poll()/select()
issues reported to this list recently...
