Package: gkermit Version: 1.0-5 Severity: normal I have been observing 100% and near 100% CPU usage by the gkermit process while sending a file. Given what gkermit should be doing, the power of the CPU it is running on and the fact that most of the CPU use is system time rather than user time I can not see that this level of CPU usage is correct and must be a bug.
The situation in which this was observed is as follows... At the receiving end I use kermit to open a telnet connection from the machine that is to receive the file to an application-level gateway (jump box), using 'kermit -j host -c'. The jump box gives me a shell prompt and from there I telnet to the sending end. This second telnet connection uses SSL. At the sending end there is a DSL router which does NAT from a static public IP to an internal network. On the internal network is the Debian machine which accepts the (SSL) telnet connection and gives me a shell prompt. From there I run 'germit -s file' and it is on this Debian machine that I observe the high CPU usage. As the Debian machine concerned is a 2GHz+ AMD Athlon 64 which can run complex audio effects including multiple FFTs etc. without using this level of CPU and gkermit's use is almost all system time I suspect gkermit has some bug that is causing it to go into a busy-wait loop.
