Issue 213: UrgencyHook fails under stress-testing http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=213 New issue report by m...@twifkak.com: 1. Save your work. 2. Write a shell script, stress.sh, with the line: while true; do echo -ne '\a'; done 3. Run it in an urxvt with urgentOnBell: true. 4. Move over to a ptty (as your X is now hosed), run top, and notice that xmonad's RES is at several hundred megs, and it's CPU usage is consistently above 50%. 5. killall -9 stress.sh 6. Notice that xmonad is still a resource hog. 7. Curse your curiosity for bringing your work to a halt. (I haven't tested this on another WM; perhaps this problem is global.) I'm looking for suggestions, here. Fixing this completely would require a change to core, I believe. OTOH, this at least points out a space leak in UrgencyHook.
