Package: pidgin-microblog Version: 0.2.4-1 Severity: important I installed pidgin-microblog only a few days ago and used it only for watching the homepage updates for a twitter account.
Since about yesterday, I noticed weird stuff like tweets being repeated, but it's probably connected to Twitter, since it had some capacity issues. However, today I started getting messages about exceeding the upper limit on query rate, tried to stop and restart pidgin, but it hanged (all children processes were zombies and the parrent just used 100% cpu without doing anything detectable by strace -p PID). I used xkill to get rid of windows, then tried SIGCHLD to reap zombies, it didn't work so I SIGKILL-ed them. This repeated a few times today, however I can no longer reproduce it so I guess is linked with twitter.com's problems (which tend to happen pretty regularly). Unless some developer guesses the correct fix, please include instructions on how to debug this when it happens again. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (70, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pidgin-microblog depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpurple0 2.6.5-2 multi-protocol instant messaging l pidgin-microblog recommends no packages. pidgin-microblog suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
