We've done that already. What we've seen is that the error occurs in
conjunction with a socket error and that the requested HTTP request is
sent to the wrong user about 500ms after the original request comes in,
so we thought that might be the reason. But when the socket error
occurs, there is nothing suspicious stored in the process state /
dictionary. Gut feeling is that there is some form of overflow / memory
corruption in the socket layer / inets driver (or even better, in the
load balancers). We are now trying to reproduce the error on R13B.
Thanks for your input,
Francesco
