xfce weather plugin

the weather plugin is pegging my cpu at 100%. anyone else having this problem?

i woke up today to find cpu at 100%, i checked top and it was the weather plugin. i restarted X and it was okay for a few minutes, but i just noticed it back at 100%. at this point i don't know if it's a bug with the plugin, or something to do with where it's getting the data. i'm going to try changing the location and see if that matters.

As you can see in the bugreport, this seems to happen only when connection fails while downloading the weather-data.

So, when you have a reliable connection to your weather-server. You won't encounter this bug.
