beagled-helper needs 100% CPU after some idle time

[Oliver Paulus]

Binary package hint: beagle

I use Feisty Fawn release. After some idle time on my laptop beagled-helper comsumes 100% CPU. I do not know if the problem loops. I have seen a lot of similar problems/bugs:
64326, 69752, 77106, 28467, 34495, 37386, 70426.

I also have "use" of this bug, so my cpu is working at double speed all the time (1,9 ghz instead of 1Ghz),
beacouse of beagled-helper1s use of 100% cpu time. it is niced but kowever, it should not use
100% cpu and doing nothing..

if you are using 0.2.14+, then you can send
$kill -SIGUSR2 `pidof beagled-helper`
which will print the name of the file beagled-helper is stuck at in the log file ~/.beagle/Log/current-IndexHelper
(from http://beagle-project.org/Troubleshooting_CPU)

There were lots of known issues with the early feisty packages, please try the latests and refile any issues you have.
