Hi Howard,

I finally got around to test your fix and it works fine. I first tried 2.2.19 
without the patch and I could easily reproduce the hang, then applied the 
patch to backend.c and I can't force the hang anymore. I'll do further 
testing before I put it on our production servers.


Thanks,
Karsten.
