Hi,

It sounds like it's a problem with semephores not being released and the
web sever process getting stuck and not getting any cpu time! I've noticed
that the keyboard input is sluggish as well - you often have to move the
mouse before you'll see any characters!

Hi,

I have the Squeak Plugabble Web Server running on a FreeBSD box with Squeak
2.4c and I've noticed something very odd. The response time of the server
is very slow or non-existant unless the mouse is moved on the server's
squeak x-window! I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if there
is a fix?

Here's the test page.
