Uplading file via Lighttpd - system hangs

[Chris]

If you check top command, do you see lighttpd using 99% CPU ?

Also does both php and static content "hang" ?

If you have these symptoms the problem is the same. I use strace and
found that lighttpd doesn't accept more connections when this thing
happens.
