You sure its MWAIT? I saw a problem recently that occurred when a large amount
of form data was being POSTed, but that resulted in RWMBX processes.

What do you mean by "more than one page of forms"? Do you mean a form that
doesn't fit on a single screen?
Please try to find out approximately how much form data is being generated (how
big is the post data string that comes back encoded in the URL). Also, is the
CGI written in Perl, DCL, or is it an image?

| 4634.2 | patch needed for comerce server | CSC32::GLAUNER | | Tue May 06 1997 11:33 | 11 |
| Hello,
The form data was over 1024 and I saw a patch for it in the elevations
comet database. When you do a sho system the httpd is in rwast
state, which is different than the call that inspired the patch.
Also my customer is using commerce server not communications for
which the patch is written. I need to get a patch for the commerce
server for the same issue.

| 4634.4 | RWMBX state using NS Communications svr? | CAMPY::wldhrn.mlo.dec.com::Rogers | | Wed May 07 1997 16:04 | 20 |
| We are seeing a problem similar to one alluded to by Colin in .1, I
think. We have C program attempting an fread operation against
"standard input" (stdin). This should result in the transfer of data
on the order of thousands of bytes. fread returns a failure. As
part of handling the failure, we return an error message through the
server. In the process of displaying the error message, the HTTPD_*
subprocess ends up in RWMBX state.
Particulars:
Alpha VMS 6.1
UCX 4.1 Eco 2
NS Communications Server 1.12
Any suggestions or pointers on how to proceed? Is there a patch
for the Communications server I should apply?
Thanks,
Steve Rogers
