This bug happens when multiple requests for a session come in before the first request completes (Ajax on the page can cause this) and the first request calls terminate() on the session (e.g. from a log out link or in response to an exception during request processing). The session terminates properly, but the threads for the other queued requests for the now terminated sessions are stuck. This prevents the app from restarting under wotaskd control (other than force quitting it). An example trace from one such stuck thread (highly mutilated, not my fault):
Are you kidding me?  How has this one survived this long?

It might be newish. I don't think I saw it until 5.3, maybe slightly earlier.


Why doesn't terminate check in the session?

It does check in the session, but because it has terminated, the request that is blocked on the session checkout never gets unblocked.


Won't a terminated session .notify() the TimoutEntry?? That's asinine. This is cruising for a Wonder fix, I think.


I really doubt that you could do this. I took the easier, if far less elegant route, of setting the session timeout to a few seconds. That way any queued requests pass through the RR loop. To make this a little "safer", I also null the user and do other cleanup on the session so that any further requests will just get an error page or a login request.
