From b13214af273f826699e97bd1f4dd2e49bfe43f5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oren Hurvitz Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:55:19 +0200 Subject: Added a watchdog to abort slow threads in the main thread pool If a task in the thread pool hangs then it will permanently take up one of the threads. If this happens repeatedly then the thread pool will become exhausted and OpenSim will fail. This watchdog terminates threads in the thread pool that have been executing for over a minute (which probably means they're hung).
