[Medusa-dev] Asyncore looping

[Cavazos, Gustavo]

As it turns out, other programs using asyncore started looping
and are now CPU bound, besides the ftp server. I also found this
comment on google:

Of interest is this last comment regarding that one of the queue objects
fails to return essentially looping the program. This would explain why
all of the sudden the program go CPU bound.

Can anyone shed light on the subject.

BTW, I am using Python 2.2 on Solaris 8 or 9

Thx,
