Barrier Version

2.3.2 Stable Release as well as tested on current git master.

Steps to reproduce bug

Just run barrier as a server (no TLS configured), Click on start.

I notice that barrier runs hot on all my CPUs and quickly east up the RAM until the computer freezes. Below is a snapshot from htop before I killed it, it was taking up 51% of my 16GB RAM and CPU jumps from 100% to 500%++.

  PID USER      PRI  NI  VIRT   RES   SHR S CPU% MEM%   TIME+  Command

Other info

• When did the problem start to occur? When I upgraded to this stable release.
• Is there a way to work around it? Not that I know of
• Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? No, I'll try an older version instead, or go back to Synergy.
