IIS hangs itself

[Cecil Westerhof]

We have an application which uses Crystal Reports, FireBird and dynamic
views to display reports. When in a short period of time a lot of reports
are displayed IIS hangs. Stopping and starting IIS does not help. The only
solution to get IIS working again is a reboot. One time I got a message that
there are to many users. But only once. All the other times it just hangs.
The to many users I do not understand, because at the moment I am the only
one using (testing) the application. Anyone an idea what could be the
problem and how to solve it?

make sure Crystal and/or Firebird close their sessions/connections when done
processing a report...
sounds like this builds up and creates a new session to the server each time

ELSE, trust Crystal to be the one complaining about the too many users, coz
IIS isn't closing sessions lol*
in this case iis would hang coz it prolly keeps trying to get a new session
going... who knows...

As far as I can see, this goes okay. (But it is not my code and also not
very well written.)

I have some more information. It also happens when using the website in a
more normal way. The only problem is that the only information that is
logged are the GET's and POST's. (We are using XP Pro.) But when looking at
this I found something strange. Before IIS hangs itself there are a lot of
log entries with only spaces. Before those entries there are a lot of
entries with status code 302 and 304. Could this have something to do with
the problems?
