I think I'm seeing this problem on Linux as well.  I just downloaded a 
fresh Squeak 3.5 from squeak.org, then installed KomHttpServer 6.1 from 
SqueakMap.  I let it install everything it suggested.  Now, when I start 
a basic file server, and point the browser to localhost:8080, Squeak 
hangs and I have to kill it and relaunch it to regain control.  I'm 
running RedHat 8.0.

Any of the Kom modules that don't try to do file serving seem to work, 
though.
