btsync-gui: Unknown gui issue

[meoso]

i was running 1.3 without issue for about a month. v1.4 came out ; today i'm having gui freeze / complete desktop freeze. my only option is to ssh in and sudo kill btsync-gui and btsync-core. i cannot run btsync at this time. (deb http://debian.yeasoft.net/btsync jessie main)

here is my /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/8t4k5Kv6

Linux skynet 3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.15-2 (2014-08-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux
XFCE 4.10

Two questions:

1. How many shared folders and how many peers per folder approx.?
2. Have you tested to access the BitTorrent Sync engine via the Web UI? Was it still running?

[meoso]

client to 2 shared folders. (very large subset of files/folders 22GB w/ 3peers & 52GB w/2 peers)
webui still running and therefore btsync operational.

panel's icon no response (freeze).

after multiple tests, i found the "whole desktop" freeze only occurs if i try to use the panel icon within the first few seconds. (before the first "rotating" animation)

BTW: This is a duplicate of #139 - but since you provided more information, we should continue the discussion here. Can you please try to run the GUI from the command line with

btsync-gui --log DEBUG

until the freeze happens? I would like to know the adjusted timings. You see them in lines like:

DEBUG:root:Last cycle duration was 32 msec - Adaptive timeout changed to 1000 msec to avoid API flooding
DEBUG:root:Last cycle duration was 34 msec

If you launch btsync-gui from the console, you can see all the messages on the console. Nevertheless there is also a log file. It should be located in ~/.btsync

You can send the file by E-Mail.

not much output before crash (tried twice):

OK - Tomorrow I will analyse the code and see what could be happening. One question more: on which platform are you running (CPU/MEM)?

i found that the official cli-only btsync also produces the kernel trace dumps (/var/log/messages), therefore those are unrelated to the gui issue.
