Leaking HTTP requests (was: RE: [Zope] Leaking Acquisition.Im plic itAcquirerWrapper)

[Jean-Francois.Doyon at CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca]

Unfortunately, I can't easily get rid of Localizer.

I use TranslationService + Localizer on the entire site for all of my skins
and so on ...

I've managed to leak a few HTTP Requests on my test box, but I still have no
idea how/why.

I simply hit the homepage of my site repeatedly using JMeter, and got a few
new references that are sticking around.  They don't all stick around
though, and it doesn't seem to necessarily be only the first time I hit a
page that the refcount goes up, and I can't detect any pattern to it ...

When I test manually, some lost references appear, and then they stop
appearing, and then sometime later a couple more appear, and so on.  My
events log has nothing in it, neither does the error_log.

I have in the past seen a few entries in my events log file such as:

"Localizer The thread number 5126 don't has a request object associated."

But again, there's very few of those compared to the amount of leakage
occuring.

Alright, I guess I'll go look in the Localizer code see if I notice anything
and otherwise keep at it ... I REALLY hate having to go the "restart every
night" route ...

This confirms my suspicion somewhat that the global request patch is to 
blame. IIRC Localizer uses this, doesn't it?

Do you have the possibility to test without the (monkey?) patch, or 
without Localizer entirely?

Huima has just recently reported pretty much the same bug and he is 
using PTS, which again utilizes the global request patch (I think).
