In file: /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/scripts/squirrelmail.pl, the following code did not kill the SQM conf.pl configuration script properly, leading to extremely high CPU usage (over 40%) by the perl process running the script until it was killed manually.
# Kill off conf.pl
kill('KILL', $fpid);
if (&foreign_check("proc")) {
&foreign_require("proc", "proc-lib.pl");
local ($cproc) = grep { $_->{'user'} eq $d->{'user'} &&
$_->{'args'} =~ /conf\.pl/ }
&proc::list_processes();
if ($cproc) {
kill('KILL', $cproc->{'pid'});
}
}Status:
Closed (fixed)

Looks like this doesn't handle the case where there are multiple conf.pl processes, such as the shell that executes conf.pl and conf.pl itself. I will fix Virtualmin to handle that case in the next release.
