  • tw2 infinite loop?

    From Nightfox@VERT/DIGDIST to All on Friday, September 25, 2015 07:41:26
    This morning I noticed that sbbsctrl was using about 85-95% of the CPU, and I saw that a user was logged in running tw2 (in xtrn/tw2). I opened the "spy on node" window to see what was happening that might be causing such high CPU usage, but it looked like nothing was happening on that node. I also noticed the user had been logged in for about 5 hours, so I suspect there might have been an infinite loop running in tw2 somewhere. I closed sbbsctrl and re-opened it, and now all is fine. I've updated my tw2 files to make sure they're all up to date, but I'm wondering if that is a known issue?

    It's not known to me. :-) I'm sure tw2 could use more testing to handle corner-cases, like the user disconnecting unexpectedly. :-)

    I'm not aware of it.
