0.9.0 is old, and probably has a number of bugs which make these problems worse. I suggest testing the 1.0.0-pre3 release, to see if it has the same issue. If not, upgrade to 1.0.0 when it comes out. > Incase of unresponsive child request would the thread handling it be freed > or it will hang forever.

Can this be a reason for the problem. No. The same problem can occur when the server is talking to a database, and the database doesn't respond. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
