Descrição

Given the following program:

from zimscraperlib.zim import Creator
from pathlib import Path
from zimscraperlib.zim import metadata

creator = Creator(Path("tests.zim"), "index.html").config_metadata(
    std_metadata=metadata.DEFAULT_DEV_ZIM_METADATA
)

creator.start()

creator.add_item_for("index.html", "Main Page", content="Main", is_front=True )

for i in range(10):
    creator.add_item_for(f"content{i}", content="P" * 1000000)

creator.add_item_for("conflict", content="Foo")
creator.add_item_for("conflict", content="Bar")

I get following logs:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Which is normal. Scraper should not be doing this kind of silly thing.

What is abnormal is that the program hangs forever, waiting for something to complete. This should not happen (like the program should stop almost immediately).

I don't know it this is a pure libzim issue problem or something related to python-libzim (or python-scraperlib) so I'm asking for help to have confirmation regarding if you achieve to reproduce the problem in pure C++.

What seems to be key to reproduce the issue is to fill at least one cluster ; the more cluster we fill the hardest it is stop stop (with only range(10) in code above, python is still responding to Ctrl-C input. With range(100), I had to kill the program. With Without this initial content filling a cluster, everything works as expected (program terminates).
