(Get the code!)
I'm experiencing this bug only when attempting to resize text in Firefox using ctrl+mouse wheel. If I use ctrl++ or ctrl+-, I don't have a problem, but ctrl+mouse wheel locks up the system for a period of time and maxes out one of my CPUs. After a number of seconds or minutes, FF catches up and the text resizes. Attempting to revert text with ctrl+mouse wheel produces the same result (freezing up).
An excerpt from my strace is attached that pretty much sums up what I was seeing. The "gettimeofday" was the most regular expression that scrolled by, usually in blocks of 6-10 (was going too fast for me to count). I'd imagine that ETIMEDOUT and -1 EAGAIN are the relevant parts, but I'm not a coder...
