Uplading file via Lighttpd - system hangs

[Yury Michurin]

Well, I'm working now on creating memory dump. and send it forward for more
knowledgeable people,
however, as you might notice, different people, with different hardware, and
even different version 7.0 and 7.1,
have the same problem.

Even if lighttpd / php / some script / whatever misbehaves, system should
not be halted by such userland proccess.

Regards,
Yury.
