[rrd-developers] RRDTOOL 1.3.6 (rrd_update hangs)

[swami]

Hi,
     Something weird i am seeing at times with rrdtool version 1.3.6 i am using.
One of my module starts threads and one of the thread updates an rrd and i find at times its consuming 99% of CPU vs the normal being 2-3 %(2 out of around 15 times i tried restart module).With gdb , i found one of the threads was hung as per the gdb backtrace below

(gdb) bt
#0  0x2ca3aa14 in memcpy ()
    at ../ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/nptl/lowlevellock.h:195

    at src/service_class_data_collector.c:832                                      =======================> there is rrd_update_r happening here
#6  0x2cc0dea0 in start_thread (arg=<value optimized out>)
    at pthread_create.c:263
#7  0x2ca9639c in __thread_start () from /lib32/libc.so.6
#8  0x2ca9639c in __thread_start () from /lib32/libc.so.6


Any idea what this is and any patch for it already available ?
