I am using web2py in my organization for internal applications. One of
the applications uses dedicated instance of web2py (v1.78.1) running
on dedicated ubuntu server. It connects to our SQL Server 2005
database via freetds. It runs with the following parameters:

python web2py.py -i ... -p ... -a ... -n 100 -q 100

The application uses connection pool with 50 connections.

Recently it has started freezing occasionally. The weird thing is that
the whole web2py server freezes and basically stops responding, so not
only you cannot access the app, you cannot even open the admin
console. Sometimes it starts working again after a few minutes,
sometimes I have to restart web2py.
I suspect it has something to with either web server threads not
getting released or databases connections not getting returned to the
pool (the latter would not explain why I cannot access admin console
though).

Has anyone had similar issues? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot
the problem? Any input would be highly appreciated.
