[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] Bug#749312: bitcoin-qt: overheating --> shutdown, every time

[clayton]

Package: bitcoin-qt
Version: 0.9.1-1
Severity: important

This is new behavior. I have two laptops (one ThinkPad, one Toshiba, neither of them particularly new)
which overheat and shut down every time I run bitcoin-qt. I have tried to slow things down with trickle,
but then the client segfaults, also every time!!

The excessive use of CPU is in itself perhaps just a minor pathology, but
I am tagging this "important" because it creates the unfortunate situation I am now in: I am going 
to have to try and SOMEHOW get the clients updated such that I can move the bitcoin out to electrum.

One expects a degree of stability and reliability from the reference client.
For me at least, that is currently being shaken.
