I've discovered that from time to time my fcgi processes running under Catalyst are falling into infinite loop between requests.

Here is the GDB backtrace of running hanged process.

OS: FreeBSD 7.2

What the hell is going on? Unfortunaly OS core was built without "-g" so i cannot determine which line is the stopper in _pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb

Can someone help?
