Is this reproducable? With a 1 in 31 chance it should be pretty easy to
reproduce... Just want to make sure that there isn't some undrelying
reason why this was done this way.

The supposition that there is a deadlock is untested and simply based on
inspect
Hi Jim,
Until now, we suspected that the way global locks are handled could be
deadlock prone. You have just proved it.
I know that global locks are expensive on some systems, especially if
we want to use them in a multiprocess (forked) environment. That's why
we are forced to have such a small p

Yeah, we've got to be inline with the HTTP Project - prefork is the
default on unix systems, so we have to abide by it...
So I guess the solution is that we need to reserve two locks instead of
just one?

Well, why not keep the 32 session locks for sessions, and add
something to the locking API so that we can create dedicated locks for
dedicated usages (the session database lock, the PSP cache lock...) ?
The next time someone will need a dedicated lock, he will be tempted
to rely on the current im
It looks like that's the way to do it :

But the memory management seems very mysterious to me here... I can't
find anything that looks like a destructor for the py_config structure

OK, anything allocated to a pool is automatically deallocated by the
pool when it is cleared, which should be at the end of a request :

So if there is a memory leak, it should not be caused by something
allocated to a pool.
