Javascript freeze up Apache on Windows

[<atongprasith@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi good Apache people,

I am trying to use Apache as a front end to Tomcat and add a PHP bulletin board in. Everything work nicely with a package I got from XAMPP. However, I notice that sometimes my browser doesn't get anything back for too long (10-20 seconds). After 2 weeks or so I nailed it down to a page that would consistently delay for 21 seconds. During that 21 seconds everything stop. No CPU load. No response to any browser. I found these 2 lines of _javascript_ code causing the bad juju:

 

var camera=document.createElement("img");camera.src="";camera.height=15;camera.height=15;
  textDiv.appendChild(camera);

 

If I remove these 2, everything is fine. Firefox works fine without having to remove these 2 though. IE6 will stuck and show "loading http://whatever/map/images/symbol/smallcamera.gif" in the status bar for 21 seconds before finally complete (with the image loaded). In the log it said:

 

[Tue Dec 02 06:33:30 2008] [warn] (OS 121)The semaphore timeout period has expired.  : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.
[Tue Dec 02 06:33:30 2008] [warn] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available.  : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed.

 

Currently, my workaround is to preload image in html page and hide it somewhere.

 

So my questions are 

1.why this dynamic loading _javascript_ can freeze up the whole Apache process?

2.would you please let us have more than one worker process in mpm_winnt ?

 

Thanks
