Hi, I've been running LiteSpeed for a long time and I don't remember the last time I had any problems with it.

Yesterday I upgraded from 4.0.20 to 4.1.1 (for no special reason) and later I started noticing an oddity: sometimes the litespeed process (lshttpd) used 100% of the CPU.

This happens when users use my service and when they try to upload a file, CPU of "litespeed" process goes to 100% and stays there....

I switched back and forth from 4.0.20 to 4.1.1 and I can reproduce this with 4.1.1 only.

I'm pretty sure it's a bug somewhere... but I haven't isolated the problem yet... this only happens when the user tries to upload a file (I tested with a 4MB file). I know I haven't done anything besides upgrading LiteSpeed.

This web service is a Perl script using CGI::Fast, on a Debian 5 linux running 2.6.26.

I did a "strace" to this process, and when the CPU goes to 100% it loops with messages like these:

I switched back to 4.0.20. Let me know if I can help you with any other info!
