You probably just found a bug. Please file a report[1].

6.0 had a larger rewrite of the internal job scheduler, which broke stuff,
resulting in some busy loops.

What happens if you use SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=svp (that shouldn't be needed)?

I guess you build that version on your own?

Nevertheless 6.0 is EOL, so you won't get fixes for it[2].

I suggest to test at least with 6.2 and probably even current development[3,4],
as even 6.1 will be EOL soon, before filing a bug.

If you need a fix for that specific version, there is also professional support[5].
