Description James "Doc" Livingston 2006-10-10 08:28:56 UTC 
Occasionally Epiphany starts using 100% CPU (the UI doesn't hang however) with no obvious cause. Investigation with sysprof and gdb reveals that it's constantly adding an idle callback, from inside gnomevfs's monitoring code. I've only seen this affect Epiphany, but the backtrace of where it's continually adding the callback (hundreds of times a second) makes it look like it might be a gnomevfs issue.

Trace of where the idle callback is being added (from within another instance of that callback):

If there is any more info that would be handy, let me know - I can grab it next time I see the problem (which occurs once a week or so).

There are no epiphany functions involved in this stack, it's purely gnome-vfs internas. Re-assignin to gnome-vfs.

This would be the same cause as bug 357704, so marking as a dupe.
