shibd thread keeps reloading

[Cantor, Scott]

> We have a shibd that is nearly continuously reloading a thread:

I don't know of any way shibd could get into that state and it's never been reported before. Other than the file constantly changing, not much can cause it.

There's a race on the mod_shib side, which has been patched for the future, but that's a deadlock.

Turning off the top level reload capability is possible, but somewhat a pain, it involves some low level options to manipulate the way the global config gets installed. I would have to probably go dig it out of the archive, I think somebody has made it work in the past.
