RE: POE process getting too busy

Hi,

thanks a lot for the immediate answer, I also changed the code immediately,=
 and started another long-term test run.
Just found the process 99% busy again - the good news is that the signal pi=
pe does not seem to be the culprit :-).

Any other suggestions are highly welcome ...

Thanks & best regards,
	Markus

This sounds very familiar to me.

I encountered a similar problem on solaris and was able to make it stop by =
putting the following line of code at the beginning of my POE program:

BEGIN { eval "sub POE::Kernel::USE_SIGNAL_PIPE () { 0 }" }

There seems to be a problem with the signal pipe on some platforms, but I h=
aven't yet done more research to track down what's going wrong.
