Probably not directly, but possibly indirectly. The questions are, of course: 1) Is the 100% cycle sucking done as a pre-emptible thing, or can you cpu-starve something else using it? 2) Is there some *other* security-related API that botches incorrectly if it's cpu-starved? > No, unless its proof of some shoddy coding of some-sort.
