Hi,

Seeing as the list is quiet, something that might be of interest.

I am running 2.1.12 on a production server.
The server is (was) severly underpowered and the database was straining.

I was expenting the normal - "rejecting duplicate request".  (Cant remember 
exact error).

Then the server received about 30 access requests in about .1 second

It then went into a state where the following appeared over and over in the log:

It never recovered.
Had to be restarted.
Even with no database queries outstanding.

Dont know if 2.1.12 has more "difficulty" with slow databases?

Unfortunately dont have more info, so this can probably be ignored.

Cheers,
