No. I mean nsdc patch. I don't know what nsd do at this time, because 
command nsd patch works:
time nsdc patch > /dev/null 2>&1

real    0m43.057s
user    0m15.181s
sys     0m1.404s

But after that, nsd process begin utilize 100% cpu for a long time. I 
showed strace above.

Look what I see in top:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  
COMMAND                                                                                                                 

26044 nsd       25   0  204m 193m  356 R 99.9    37.8     32:05.96 
nsd      

for 20 minutes now. Also I have upgraded nsd to 3.2.3 version but I see 
the same behaviour.
