I have been experiencing times when my Webware site at http://zunzun.com will simply stop running, cause unknown. Investigation to date shows that there is some thread problem, which I would like to discuss.
Below is a simple Python program to test multithreading. This program runs smoothly and quickly on my home Windows XP computer as expected. On the Linux server where my site resides, it runs slowly and jerkily, finally ending with the message "Killed". I would like to ask that others please try this program and see how it runs on their computers, this may be why people occasionally report unexplainable WebKit site applications stopping.
I tried it on a couple systems. Just fine on FreeBSD. I did encounter a problem on my home box, where it segfaulted after creating thread 7314. However, rerunning the program didn't duplicate the effect.
It's a Debian unstable system, uname -a: Linux lothlorien 2.6.5 #3 Sun May 9 21:43:44 CDT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
And I did it under python 2.3.4. It happens to be under high CPU load at the moment, as I'm transcoding a bunch of oggs into mp3s; that might somehow effect things.
I also tried the program on w4py, another Debian system, but had no problems. Whatever the issue, it may not be consistently triggered by this program.
