Hi,

I'm seeing a weird problem occasionally with kio_http processes getting stuck in some sort of, apparently, infinite loop, sending unending retries of a POST to Google. The attached image is a sample pktstat -F shot.

It seems to use a small amount of bandwidth, but I don't think it's much, so long as I catch it early.

It keeps happening even after I've closed all browser windows. I have to find and manually kill the offending kio_http process before it stops, otherwise it seems to keep trying forever. Sometimes it's more than one process doing it at the same time. I haven't spotted anything unusual about the process, though, apart from this. I haven't yet figured out what triggers the behaviour.

Very odd. :/

Peace,
Brendon
