Well this one has not the fixed issue

The github version starting from March 15th 2016 (master / ovirt-4.0 / 
ovirt-3.6 branches) should actually not cause 100% CPU usage since there’s a 
sleep in case of an error, which seems to be happening here.

So you installed and started it how then? Are you sure that it doesn’t 
execute the other one?
