Apache::Session::MySQL lock troubles

[Todd W]

Apache::Session is occasionally hanging pages. If I stop the server, I find
the following in the error log:

http://waveright.homeip.net/~trwww/code/pmsi/4tp-bug.txt

using pre and post statment warn()s, I found that the line that causes the
hang is:

      eval {
      tie %{$session}, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $session_key,
       { Handle => $dbh, LockHandle => $dbh } ;
     } ;

The only way I can "duplicate" it is by pounding the sever with ab.

Once it hangs, it says hung ( can't make any other requests ). A restart
always gets it going agian.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
