Comment (by jrchamp):

 Ran into the same problem as @boonebgorges so for now I'm just going to
 turn autodiscovery off until there's a real fix here. One idea would be to
 ask for a lock before a thread takes on the task of discovering and
 parsing the RSS feed so that the other threads can move on with their
 lives instead of duplicating work. The lock would expire of course, but at
 least only one of the threads would be asked to do the work for that
 period of time.
