CPU Gobbler in Geany

["Marcus D. Leech" <mleech@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Geany (F11, up to date) gobbles CPU while waiting for a Build or Compile 
to complete.

My *suspicion* is that it does (conceptually):

             foo = popen (build-command-string, "r")
             set filedescriptor_of(foo) == NON_BLOCK

            toolkit-add-input-event(foo)

If the event handler in the toolkit uses select(), it will continuously 
return "ready" on that
  file descriptor, because it's set non-blocking.  This is a classic 
mistake, but maybe it's something
  else entirely.  Problem is, the Geany CPU gobbling tends to compete 
with the compilers
  CPU requirements :-(

Cheers
Marcus
