Hi,

First, thanks for introducing me to ddd. Its so useful.

I couldn't reproduce the crash with ddd but, at some point, Cairo-Dock
froze (without 100% CPU usage) and I got these messages on the bottom
pane of ddd:

---------------------
cairo-dock: ath.c:193: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion `*lock == ((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed.

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
[Switching to Thread 0xae325b70 (LWP 8494)]
0xb7fe2424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
(gdb) 
---------------------

I attached the screenshot of the Backtrace window.

Bug description:
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.
