Public bug reported:

This bug is somehow odd but I try to explain it as clearly as possible.
I use my whole band-width for some download, for example, when
downloading heavy files with Synaptic. Then I intentionally middle click
on the weather applet to see what happens. Of course, it can't get any
information and its icon changes because my whole band-width is used by
Synaptic or another heavy download process. But, after a few seconds,
something bad happens: one of my CPU cores goes to 100%. I can't quit
Cairo-Dock normally but can kill its process and then, CPU usage gets
normal again.

When I don't middle click on the weather applet, sometimes the same
thing happens and sometimes Cairo-Dock crashes and automatically
restarts.

In the case of 100% CPU usage, I see no message in xsession-errors
except normal messages related to the weather and mail applets, which
say that they cannot retrieve information. In the case of crash and
restart, I don't clearly remember the messages but I think they said
that the culprit might be the weather applet.

I see this problem only after the recent changes in the weather applet
of the bazaar releases (5th Oct). However, I'm not sure that it's the
main cause.
