(See my previous post in response to Joey Morin.)

Still sounds like it must have been introduced when that connection 
(or whaterver) limit was imposed on mini_httpd, but what do I know?

I'll try disabling HTTP1.1, but we'll have to wait a while before I 
know if the hangs have stopped occuring...

I've now waited more than 12 hours since I lost contact with the GUI, 
and still no recovery.

Hmm, I'll try a netstat -a later on when the GUI is up again. As it is 
now, I can just barely catch a "WAITING FOR SYN RESPONSE" or some such 
with m0n0wall as the foreign destination, but it quickly goes away and 
no other connection to m0n0wall then seen.


Let me know if there is anything else I shall try? (I'll get back as 
soon as possible with the results from netstat -a and later on from 
using another browser...)

Adam.
