[Evolution] Bug#365797: Need help with bug #365797

Hi,

I've learned to know that you are NM for the libnm-glib0 package. I'm NM
for evolution, and we have a problem with the new 1.6.1 release, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365797

I've pretty much isolated the problem. Evolution uses NetworkManager
status to set online/offline. If dbus is not installed, though,
libnm_glib_dbus_init() in libnm-glib0 reports the error, but many times,
actually hundreds of times per second. The result is 100% CPU usage. At
first I thought the problem was in Evolution, but now I believe it's the
rescheduling of connection attempts in libnm-glib.c that causes it.

Since you might know the libnm-glib code better, can you have a look at
what might be wrong here? Shouldn't the rescheduling of connection
attempts have a timer?

I can easily reproduce this and have evo+libnm-glib with debug symbols
installed, if that can help.

RedHat also has this problem, as in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183870

Cheers,
