[Lazarus] IDE unstable - Online Package manager bug

[Michael Van Canneyt]

Hello,

I find that the IDE has become very unstable lately. I didn't install any
new packages, didn't update FPC (still on FPC 3.0.4). Just updated lazarus
from SVN.

4 out of 5 attempts to close the IDE using the window manager button fails:
lazarus hangs and I must kill it using
killall -KILL lazarus
from a terminal.

It's very reproducible.

Start lazarus
Open package
Compile package
Switch to form editor of start project
Close (window manager or menu file - exit)
-> hang

I can attach to it using gdb. Here is the stack trace:

Seems a bug in the online package manager. Who said once that threads are evil ? :)

For now I uninstalled the online package manager, but a fix would be really appreciated :-)
