Last night I verified that a powermac 7100/80 running MCL 3.0 without patches
or  MCL 3.0p2 with  cl-http 1.7d2 does indeed turn into mush after serving
a bunch of urls,
perhaps not many at that.  This occurs when the client is on a remote host.  The
mouse turns into a circle cross.

It would seem that some resource is becoming exhausted and that the machine
then becomes
unusable.  This could be in MCL, MACTCP, or the Apple code, or some
interaction. Dunno, but
on the surface, it does not seem to be server-related

It would be nice if someone at Digitool or Apple could investigate so that
a patch
can developed.  This behavior makes CL-HTTP unusable on 7100s until such a patch
is available.
