They were processing POST requests from the client with a somewhat
large data payload.

Here's the stack from one of them:
"http-apr-8080-exec-169" daemon prio=10 tid=0x00002aaabc893000
nid=0x5253 runnable [0x00000000451a9000]

They mostly look like this:

"http-apr-8443-exec-200" daemon prio=10 tid=0x00002aaac8132800
nid=0x520f runnable [0x0000000044fba000]

It definitely stops accepting some (but not all) http requests.  To
answer the other questions, I'd have to run the test again (and it
takes a day to fail).
