  Argh... I put a fix in the other day for non-threaded code.  But
that may not help the threaded version.

  Weird..

  That's even weirder.  It appears, then, that the same request is
being seen multiple times. ??

  Yeah, killing it seems to help.

  I'm pretty much at a loss.  If you have the time and interest in
tracking it down, that would help *enormously*.

  That is, a simple statement like "the build from May 7 works, but
May 8 doesn't" would allow us to track the problem down.  Right now, I
can't even reproduce it locally, so I have no clue what to be looking
for.
