RE: [Webware-devel] A few questions

Jay,

I have not been able to identify why wkcgi.exe hangs.  Here are the steps to
reproduce the problem:

Do not start the ThreadedAppServer.
Make a request to wkcgi.exe
Browser will hang
Check task manager and you will see the process for wkcgi.exe peaking cpu
usage
Process does not die

Besides just running without the listener, I noticed that if I refresh the
page for about 30 seconds, I will get a ghost wkcgi process.

Thanks for your help.

Geoff,

Did you get this worked out, or do I need to take a look?

The ISAPI module still has the mem leak, BTW.  I'm desperate for someone
to go through it and look for it, because I clearly can't see it from my
perspective.
