[FFmpeg-user] ffserver dies on stream request

[Naz]

Hi all,
I am pushing video from ffmpeg here at home to a ffserver instance 
running on a remote machine. I have been able to do it in the past, 
however, when I upgraded to the current git (as of about 48 hours ago) 
it stopped working. What now happens is that the server starts but 
consumes 100% of CPU. I read in issue 855 that deleting /tmp/feed1.ffm 
solves this, so I tried that, and it does.

After deleting the feed file, ffserver starts, and accepts a connection 
from ffmpeg and ffmpeg seems to report that it is streaming as normal, 
outputting bitrate and timestamp progress to stdout.

However, soon after a client attempts to connect via HTTP, ffserver's 
CPU shoots back up to 100%. If I kill ffserver before this, I don't have 
to delete the feed file. I've let ffserver run for some minutes without 
attempting a client connection, and it has not occurred before I made 
the attempt. This leads me to believe that the corruption in the feed 
file occurs when a connection is attempted from a client.

My ffserver.conf is below. I've attempted this with only one of the 
streams enabled at a time, commenting out all the others as you can see. 
Any help on this would be appreciated.
