Hi -
I'm debugging my extension code against potential deadlock conditions, and am having a problem: when I request 2 pages simultaneously in different firefox tabs, judging by the wfDebug output it seems like the second page request blocks at session_start() and waits until the first page is done. Is it supposed to do this? Does it depend on my configuration?
Thanks - Lee Worden McMaster University
If I remember correctly, the PHP files session handler has to acquire an exclusive lock on the session file in session_start(). Thus preventing your second request until the first is complete.

Thanks! I have to log in as 2 people from 2 different browsers, I guess. LW
