I have never done any manual Avahi configuration, and this is a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.10 on my new Macbook Pro. Where do the valgrind logs live?
Also, it's doing the 100% cpu thing right now, so bt is below. Note there's a lot of missing debugging symbols, but I don't see any -dbg packages for libavahi or similar. If you can suggest how to get these debugging symbols installed, I imagine it'll make the backtrace more illuminating: $ sudo gdb -p 12169 GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.11.90.20161005-0ubuntu1) 7.11.90.20161005-git Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
