High load of "check_reload_status" - public Tools Repo out of Sync?

[thhi]

We have successfully build our own pfSense 2.2 ISO image. With this version we experience a high load (100% CPU) coming from the process "check_reload_status". The high load is gone, if we copy the binaries "check_reload_status", "pfSctl" and "fcgicli" from the BETA-2.2 snapshots.

Therefore it should not be a configuration problem on our installation. It seems to be related to the pfPort "check_reload_status" from the "Tools Repo".

Remark: Our binaries have nearly double the size of the snapshot binaries:

[super@freebsd]$ wc -c /
22320 snapshop-beta-2-2/check_reload_status
11336 snapshop-beta-2-2/fcgicli
  7928 snapshop-beta-2-2/pfSctl
48330 test-2-2/check_reload_status
22282 test-2-2/fcgicli
16073 test-2-2/pfSctl

Please cross check the "check_reload_status" of the tools repo and the beta snapshots.

Best regards

@thhi:

Binaries on 2.2 snapshots are stripped, or at least they are now.  If yours are not, that would explain the size differences.

Sorry, I haven't looked into the 2.2 build process since the licensing change, so I can't help there.

I have rebuild "check_reload_status" with the git commit "563c70dea12890ac0525c56557ade142d3098285" (Make check_reload_status depends of libevent2 since version was dropped and it's completely backward compatible…). The high load problem remains.

However the lastest shapshot version (from 15-Oct) uses libevent-1.4. Perhaps the library version libevent2 isn't 100% backward compatible?
