I've run into a strange problem with a forking daemon I've written. It uses HTTP::Daemon.

The daemon code has been running stable for well over a year. I wanted to move it to another linux machine and I've run into an odd problem.

On the new system, the daemon won't answer a request until another request comes. The daemon is fairly involved and breaking out a minimum case example might take a bit.

I've compared the output from the two demons and it given the same request, the server responds with the same content byte-wise. This hanging does not happen when I telnet in and type the request manually. I thought it might be an LWP issue (That's what I was using to make the requests) but lynx is doing the same thing.

Anyone have an idea on what could possibly cause this behaviour to narrow where I should start looking? It would be greatly appreciated.
