Re: qa/660 - pmwebd in an infinite loop?

Hi, Ken -

Can you offer some more vitals of the host?  libmicrohttpd / kernel
versions?  Does strace of the pmwebd or curl processes identify
anomalous looping?  Does the pmwebd.log file contain anything of use?
Can you install libmicrohttpd's debuginfo on the machine, so that
backtraces for MHD_* functions show proper source:line# entries?

I looked through libmicrohttpd development history briefly (svn 
unfortunately), and no related bug jumped out at me.

That part's expected.  Arbitrary paths are not allowed to be retrieved
by pmwebd (for security reasons).
