Problem

Tvheadend uses near 100% cpu when streaming via http. tvh:tcp-start seems to be the cause.

Affected

Git master 4.1.1670+ and maybe lower. builds =< 4.1.1429 aren't affected.

Tests and debugging done

Unfortunately because the box isn't very fast I'm unable to get gdb to play nice thus I'm unable to produce logs, below are some screenshots of what I could get..

Further debugging.

I'm now going to go through commits 1429-1670..

I've now gone through the commits and the commit causing the issue is: commit:a6a23e10/On Github.

My log of testing each commit..
