Raymond--

Thanks for the reply.  I finally stumbled upon #10265 that you listed and after I downgraded the qtwebkit, I am functioning again.

I still would be interested in a solid fix for this so that I don't need to worry about mis-updating qtwebkit again.

Thanks again!

Mike

The main event loop allows clients to connect, but there are no threads available to ever send any response. The master backend will continue to operate just fine on its own, but any slave backends or frontends will be non-functional until the master backend is rebooted.
