[Koha] circulation.pl is maxing out the CPU - Need help!

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Chris,

more a wild guess, but we once had problems with calculating due dates
far into the future and a calendar bug. So Koha couldn't find any day
where the library was open for the due date.

Maybe check the circulation conditions and calendars for anything that
stands out?

Hope this helps,

Katrin
