Bug Description
Ubuntu release: 13.04
faketime version: 0.8-1ubuntu1
Huge CPU usage (close to 100% on a 4-thread i7 laptop) with the following commands:
faketime -f '-10m' firefox
faketime -f '-10m' chromium-browser
faketime -f '-10m' eclipse
The time seems to be somehow important; replacing '-10m' with '+1h' causes the same 3 programs to hang, without the huge CPU usage.
However, VLC does not seem affected by this bug.
Note: faketime was segfaulting in 13.04 till latest update (13th June). This bug was observed immediately upon update.
