I have a bit more info on this ... the server was in the state where
it seemed the threads were no longer running and then I restarted
uwsgi and then the threads ran to completion! So now I am very
confused - they clearly were still around, but seeming in some blocked
state and they were able to resume when uwsgi restarted. Can anyone
shed any light on what is going on? Or should I post on the uwsgi
list?
