I think it's reasonable. Are there any tracebacks in your
cherrypy error
log?

Unfortunately there is nothing in the access or error logs,
and nothing
in the redirected cherrypy output. I do notice, however,
that if I kill
cherrypy at that moment, when my HTTP session is hanging,
HTTP stops
hanging. So, somewhere in cherrypy, it's making HTTP wait
for a
response, and never responds but keeps runnning.

The good news is that it is very easy to reproduce.

Thank you in advance,
Gloria
