IIRC, my whole process was locking up, not just individual threads.

Tonight I should have time to pull an old copy of the code out of CVS 
and recreate the test script that I used.  Once I have, it should be a

waiting a couple of minutes for the script to lock up.  The last time I 
looked, the problem was very easy to observe.
