Thanks for the reply, Jeffrey.
Ok, I can understand how leaking session handles would cause a read or
write lock, or whatever. However, I thought that untieing the session
hash would release whatever locks the session held -- at the end of the
simple script I untie the hash.
In fact, the script is so simple I don't see where I could be leaking
the handles (but just because _I_ can't see where doesn't mean a whole
lot :)
And finally, to add to my confusion, I can take the test script, change
the form encoding from multipart to x-www-form-urlencoded, and have it
work fine. Change it back to multipart, and it hangs. Any idea there??
Thanks for your attention,
--kip
p.s. I'm including the test script at the end of this message -- there's
probably something obviously wrong that I just can't see...
