Bug#472180: Xprt hogging CPU.

[Gavin Bravery <gbravery@jagsiacs.co.uk>]

Package: xprint
Version: 2:1.4.99.901-1
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
On starting the xprint service, the CPU climbs to 100% and sits there.
Most of the time is being spent processing the Xprt requests.

An strace on the process shows repeated messages like this:
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {129271, 124564461}) = 0
select(256, [0 1], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})  = 0 (Timeout)
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {129271, 124730486}) = 0
select(256, [0 1], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})  = 0 (Timeout)

The only way to return the system to useability was to kill the process
off.
