GNet BUGS ========= See our Bugzilla page for the last bugs: * gnet_tcp_socket_new_async can block when SOCKS is used The function will block during the SOCKS negotiation after the connection to the SOCKS server has been made. This shouldn't be too serious, so it hasn't been fixed. * Process uses 100% CPU [GLib bug 11059] On some systems GLib has problems if you use more than one watch on a file descriptor. The problem is GLib assumes descriptors can appear twice in the array passed to poll(), which is true on some systems but not others (e.g. newer versions of Linux). If GLib passes an array that's larger than than number of open decriptors, poll fails. This causes GLib to immediately try again, fail, try again, and so on, looping. (Newer versions of GLib may warn when this happens.) One solution is to not set more than one watch per iochannel. In many situations this is difficult to do. In newer versions of Jungle Monkey, there is a single demultiplexer function that acts as the only watch and calls the appropriate IO handler. A simpler alternative is to replace the limited poll with an unlimited poll. This requires distributing an additional file and some autoconf magic. See Jungle Monkey 0.1.10 for an example of how to do this. See GLib bug 11059 on http://bugs.gnome.org. (The original bug report is incorrect - the problem is with GLib, not Linux.)
