Everything works ok to the point where you close the window. Then the gpodder
freezes consuming all available cpu power. You cannot quit the normal way,
you have to kill the process.
... testing with "strace gpodder" ....
Looks like strace (system call trace) reveals the problem:
futex(0xc6c9b0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0xc6c9b0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
stat("/home/bjoern/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profile
s/bjoern/Min musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profil
es/bjoern/Min musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/bjoern/Min
musikk/.xmoto/LCache/i14.blv", {st
_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1947, ...}) = 0
futex(0xc6c9b0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
Here strace reveals a loop (the very long stat call) in the filesystem. So
gpodder didn't freeze after all. It's doing an endless file search.
Looks like gpodder scans the users homedirectory after the Close-button is
clicked for some reason. My homedirectory contains ".wine", which includes
symbolic links:
$ pwd
/home/bjoern/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles
$ ls -l bjoern/

As you see, many links that can cause an endless loop.
The working i386 machine doesn't contain the .wine directory. All
gpodder-users that have links pointing back in the filesystem, will get the
same problem as me.
I guess this must be considered a bug.
Best regards Bjoern :-)
