[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ running at 100% CPU.

[Michael Arnoldus]

Matthias,

Seen on several Mac's here, but the one where we have the problem  
right now is a Quad-core 2,8 GHz Mac Pro. Also seen on a dual core. 2  
GB Mem. Running Mac OS X 10.5.2 (Leopard). Erlang 11B-5, Rabbit 1.2.0.

I actually have a system running with the problem, so if I can help in  
any way tracing the problem down, let me know.

Yes, Mac OS X has dtrace.

It seems to me like it should be possible to find an possible infinite  
loop on writev error writing to a socket, either in the erlang code or  
the rabbit code (but then again - what do I know :-) Let me know if  
you have any suggestions on where I should start looking.

Michael
