Hangs and CPU very high load after exit

[olegon]

Sometimes mc process consumed 100% of CPU core. As I recognized it's only from root account, so by sudo mc or from simple sudo -i. I recompile it' many times with different options without success.

strace -o /tmp/trc -fp PID gave me a very big file with next cyclic content

but many cores changed after I found this bug. I can't make stable testcase, but very often found CPU load :(

1. Your mc is old. Please try latest version.
2. What terminal emulation program do you use?

[olegon]

1. It's stable version for Gentoo, but ok, I compiling 4.8.10. I think, this problem occured some versions ago.
2. TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color and rxvt-unicode 9.18.

One of mc hangs now (from 7 hours ago), can I kill -9 it or need some tests? only SIGKILL, not SIGTERM can terminate it.

GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.11
and 100% usage of one core again :(

[angel_il]

can you attach 'gdb' log?

[olegon]

Replying to angel_il:

can you attach 'gdb' log?

Unfortunately, I can't stable reproduce bug, it occured rarely than in previous version and no occures from my previous post (and few root usage from that day). Can I gather log only in bug situation? Usually, it run some days or weeks, so log will be too long.
