The problem seems to be solely about whether a client with id X disconnects: if it stays connected (including reconnects), there's no problem; if it disconnects, CPU usage can go to 100%. I've run a default config mosquitto and seen this problem on two machines (both with low mosquitto usage), though it took me ages to realise what the cause was! If your clients stay connected all, or at least most, of the time, I doubt you'd see this problem. It also seems like it might only affect BSD platforms, though I'm not totally certain about that.
