[stunnel-users] stunnel 5.18 may keep high CPU usage

[Dod]

Hello Michal,

Same  problem with 5.19b4 and nothing special in the logs.

Now  I know how to reproduce the problem instantly, I just have to put
my computer in StanBy mode and Awake it.

Using  Process Explorer from Sysinternals I see that stunnel produce a
permanent "Other I/O" flow when problem appear.

I/O  Other  :  "The  rate at which the process is issuing bytes to I/O
operations  that  do not involve data such as control operations. This
counter  counts  all  I/O activity generated by the process to include
file, network and device I/Os."

OtherI/O  is  confirmed  by  Process  Monitor  that  trace no File nor
Registry nor Network activity.

But  as  stunnel  still  respond correctly to a Quit menu or any other
menus  and  SSL  requests  I  assumed that it may be some Thread going
crazy  so  I  compared  running thread between normal stunnel behavior
with  the  25%  CPU  behavior and found that in fact there is a thread
that do no terminate correctly.

Here is the Thread's stack :
