[Twisted-Python] Traceback on loseConnection

[Werner Thie]

Hi Jean-Paul

Sorry for coming back...

Just to be a little more precise:

This is a nevow/athena site I therefore have little done in the bowels 
of twisted and specially no artwork in handling loseConnection.

Site running on twisted SVN 25479 (appr 8.1.0) shows absolutely no problems.

Site running on twisted SVN 26124 (appr 8.2.0) shows this problem, which 
definitely means that something in the guts of twisted is now barfing at me.

But its only about 700 SVN commits in between, I think I will do a SA 
approach to figure out where this barfing starts and try to nail it to 
the relevant commit.

I would be more than thankful if somebody could spare me this effort by 
throwing in an educated guess.

Thxs, Werner

PS I like the one about the dots, that's why I'm not working with Java
