I haven't done CGI but,
The script looks deterministic, but is the whole script?
Could it be that Rebol is not closing or timing out the networking
connection quickly enough?
I'm not entirely confident with this but, what if you have a client
connection that requests a the data but never takes it (drops out, filtering
proxy)?
Just some wonderings...
