duplicatesASTERISK-21176 Call files on OS X, using KQueue, do not get processed (load 100%)
Environment:OpenBSD since switching to kernel backed threads (in 5.1)Attachments:
Description:scan_thread() (pbx_spool.c:754) passes an invalid time limit (INT_MAX) to kevent() if the directory list is empty. This results in high CPU use as the call fails with EINVAL (see line 613 of http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/kern/kern_time.c?annotate=1.77) and hits the "continue". So in the case where next == INT_MAX, NULL should be passed instead.

Obvious patch is in OpenBSD ports, I won't submit it here directly as I don't particularly want to sign a license disclaimer, but it wouldn't be a big surprise if anyone looking at this came up with an identical fix ;)

This is a duplicate of ASTERISK-21176, which will be fixed in Asterisk 11.4.0. There is currently an RC available with this fix, Asterisk 11.4.0-rc1. Please test with that version. If you still have an issue, please let a bug marshal know and we will reopen this issue. Thanks!
