Package: mtail
Version: 3.0.0~rc19-2
Severity: important
Hi,
It seems the version of mtail that is in buster works for a short period of
time, but then gets into a strange state where it doesn't respond anymore. If
you attempt to curl the port it is listening on it will simply hang and never
respond.
I've run some straces of the process, but they just look like it is caught in a
tight loop, regardless of the mtail programs loaded (I used a simple counter to
eliminate problems with the programs), it just looks like this over and over:

The stretch-backports and bullseye versions of mtail seem to work fine, but this
version in buster isn't something that we can use in production because it falls
over like this fairly quickly and then we cannot seem to get it to work again.
