[Spacewalk-list] Taskomatic runs indefinitely without ever generating repodata

[Gerald Vogt]

I have the same problem after upgrading from 2.6 to 2.8 on CentOS 6.9. I 
have even increased the memory as suggested by that link but it makes no 
differences. None of the scheduled tasks are running. I can run a bunch 
manually. But the scheduler doesn't seem to work. Last execution times 
on the task engine status pages are still at timestamps from before the 
upgrade. -Gerald

We can also see the task marked as running in the Admin tab of the WebUI, but if we let it, it never stops. The task runs indefinitely, whithout ever doing anything.
