Hi,

after some debugging I found out that dillo was frozen because it waits for input on the unix socket from the cookies.dpi. cookies.dpi itself blocks on the read() on the connection socket.

If you kill dillo and stop dpid, the next time the cookies.dpi starts, it finds the cookies files locked and terminates immedediately. Then dpid starts the cookies.dpi again and again in an infinite loop.

In my theory, the freeze where both processes are hanging in read() is caused when a connection is creating via DEBUG_MSG(5, "Cookies.c: a_Cookies_set \n\t \"%s\" \n",cmd ); a_Capi_dpi_send_cmd(NULL, NULL, cmd, "cookies", 1);

but the data is not send yet and /* Get the answer from cookies.dpi */ dpip_tag = a_Dpi_send_blocking_cmd("cookies", cmd); is called.

I have attached a patch which uses a_Dpi_send_blocking_cmd(). It seems to fix the problem. dillo has not been frozen again yet. Maybe cookies.dpi should create the SockHandler only when there is data to read (checking for it with select() first).

I have the same patch here! (with a few minor additions). What was really misleading for me, was that the old dillo-0.8.6 has no problem at all with using the non-blocking: a_Capi_dpi_send_cmd(NULL, NULL, cmd, "cookies", 1); So AFAIS it ended being a race-condition problem. This is, the cookie_set command was requested before the cookie_get for the next image, but were answered in the reverse order in dillo2 but not in dillo1! Note: What still puzzles me, is why accept() returns when there's nothing to read. I'll commit to let it have more testing. Thanks for the help.
