Description Steven Lee 2012-09-02 14:40:08 UTC 
net-p2p/bitcoin seems to have the same spinlock problem as it does on OSX.

I think the bug is somewhere inside of boost, but I am unable to locate it.

Fix: Found the fix in util.h. The bitcoin developers had included a fix for OSX that works on FreeBSD. Attached is a patch against the latest port to simply enable the fix.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Install net-p2p/bitcoin (GUI or console version) and let it connect to the network. After ~20 minutes the process will consume 100% CPU and stay there even when the debug log indicates that the process isn't busy.
