Handler Failure Blocks New Requests?

Is Mongrel2 multi-threaded?

I'm curious as to what happens when a given handler fails to send a reply 
message.  Assuming it's single-threaded, wouldn't this cause Mongrel2 to 
block new requests until the failed request times out?

Nope, it's event based plus uses coroutines, so shouldn't block at all.
Your messages will get queued up until the handler restarts.
