https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489114 Summary: perl 5.10 contains a Sys::Syslog with severe performance bug Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ag@pre-secure.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- perl 5.10 contains Sys::Syslog Version 0.22 which has a severe performance bug because of a bogus select that causes a 250 msec delay per line that is written. (see line 744 of /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Sys/Syslog.pm). this bug was introduced in Sys::Syslog Version 0.19 and fixed with Version 0.25. the change is documented here: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Sys-Syslog/Changes.html bug is here: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=34753 we discovered this bug when migrating an internal server application to opensuse 11.1. the rather large delay of 250msec per syslog-line rendered the system more or less unusable... since its probably going to take some time until another core perl is released, update to a more recent version of the syslog module for opensuse would be very helpful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
