[rt-users] Unchecking "Let this user be granted rights" causes httpd CPU spin

[Kevin Murphy]

Perl v5.8.3 under darwin
   Apache v1.27;
   RT v3.2.3rc1;
   DBIx::SearchBuilder v1.16;
   DBD::Pg v1.31;
PosgreSQL 7.4.6

As an experiment, I unchecked "let this user be granted rights" on the 
user configuration page for a user who has open tickets and is a 
watcher on queues.  The request hung (never returned), and one of the 
httpd processes proceeded to consume large amounts of CPU and increase 
its memory use steadily, seemingly without bound.  I've tried this 
several times with two different users to confirm.

It's not really harming me, but I thought I should report it in case it 
hasn't been before.  Yesterday the problem drove my test server into 
thrashing.

As a side note, what I was trying to do was "decommission" a privileged 
user.  It would be neat if there were a way of rolling all current 
responsibilities (new and open tickets, queue watching, CC status) from 
one user to another.
