The image is now showing 10 session handler processes in the process
browser. Presumably these are related to the failed upload requests.

I do not understand the cause of this problem, and it may be that I
should revert the changes that I did earlier today (in which I put
squeaksource under the control of the supervise(8) for starting the
image).

But I suspect that the problem lies elsewhere, so for I will make
a copy of the broken image for debugging, then terminate the excess
processes. This should clear the problem temporarily. I will follow
up with another email within about 30 minutes.
