Subject: bug#10669: 24.0.93; Emacs daemon high CPU load
Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:53:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ipjsg5ut.fsf@maru.md5i.com> (raw)
In certain circumstances, emacs running in daemon mode ends up in a high
CPU state, and fills the .xsession-errors log with large numbers of
"Back to top level." messages. I am using a freshly bootstrapped bzr
trunk checkout of emacs from 2012.01.29.
Here follows the minimal set of steps I was able to determine that
recreates the problem. Small deviations from this (such as not using
emacsclient) did not trigger the problem. I am running Gnome 3 and the
gnome-shell, but have seen (although not tested in detail) this same
problem in a Gnome 2 desktop session.
In a Gnome desktop session:
1) Create a .emacs file containing the following single line:
(server-start)
2) Start emacs using the following incantation:
emacsclient -a "" -c -n
3) Log out of the desktop session.
4) Log in.
5) Run top. See that emacs is taking up most of the CPU.
I have been able to attach gdb to the runaway process, but have as yet
been unable to determine what it is doing. If others are unable to
recreate the problem, I am happy to try debugging on this end, with a
little guidance.
