>Description:
Few days ago I started to play with django and noticed that the simple:

./manage.py runserver

exits whenever I try to visit the page in the browser.

I've reported bug to Django project https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16400 and then I tried with http://bugs.python.org/issue9812 and then the comment saying: "It seems that FreeBSD has a small stack size for threads (64k); did you try to increase it with thread.stack_size(10**6)?" led me to try re-build my python-2.7 with HUGE_STACK_SIZE which solved the problem.

So, my suggestion is to try it out and modify Django port to require HUGE_STACK_SIZE option enabled or something else...I'm not knowledgeable enough with neither Python nor Django to say more.


Sincerely,
Gour

>How-To-Repeat:
See https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16400
>Fix:
Django-1.3 require HUGE_STACK_SIZE-enabled Python.
