Strange registry activity in ServiioService.exe

Today I installed Serviio. I soon noticed that the ServiioService.exe process is periodically reading the registry key "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces" and its subkeys hundreds of times per second. It keeps reading the same registry keys over and over again in a loop, periodically. I cannot see any sensible reason for this.

Check out this monitoring log from Process Monitor: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53800011/pc5dczc_monitored.PML

To read the file, you need Process Monitor (it's a freeware utility by Microsoft). Download here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96645.aspx

Please check this out. The CPU usage gets pretty high and my laptop becomes slightly laggy during this thing.

Serviio itself doesnt acces the registry. It might be accessed by some low level Java routines, but there is not much I can do to disable that.
