This is due to the relationship between ZServer and the publisher.
Sometimes it can be a bad thing... especially when there's an expensive
method that folks fire off that takes a long time.. nothing comes back to
their browser, so they press stop and hit the page again... etc. etc.  So
you have a number of threads hung.

Sometimes it can be a good thing, however, such as when you want to go to
Slashdot after you fire off a 'pack'.  ;-)
