mod_perl app fails to load after browsing several pages

[diarmuid ryan]

Hi,

I am having trouble with a modperl app i am currently developing. i browse a
couple of pages
and perform a few actions but after a short time i am getting a blank
response from the server, see access log below, which indicates nothing in
the bytes returned part. no errors show in the error logs. this is happening
to me both with apache 1.3/modperl 1 and apache 2/mod perl 2. but it happens
on various different pages, not any one in particular. so my guess is that
it is the start script that hasa problem. any help in trying to troublshoot
this would be most helpful.

thanks in advance
