What steps will reproduce the problem?
I have the same problem with both Backgroundrb and Jabber::Bot

class AlertWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker
  set_worker_name :alert_worker
  def create(args = nil)
    require 'xmpp4r-simple'
    config = YAML.load_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/jabber.yml")
    @jabber = Jabber::Simple.new config['jabber_id'], config['password']
  end
  def send_message(args = nil)
    recipient, message = args
    @jabber.deliver recipient, message
  end
end

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
100% cpu load until subscription will be accepted

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 7.10, gem version 0.8.7

+1 under hardy heron running under passenger in a rails app.  I didn't see the 
issue
under mongrel but this ticket makes it seem that it happens regardless of the 
server
software.

I'm experiencing this as well.

Have we not heard anything about this at all since? It's been over 1 year.

I've added a ticket on GitHub:

http://github.com/blaine/xmpp4r-simple/issues/#issue/1

The problem is with the start_deferred_delivery_thread method that starts a 
thread in the background and 
then loops with no delay between each loop.

I fixed this by putting in a sleep call at the end of the loop. I chose 10 
minutes between checks. I plan to 
update this and make it configurable later.
