Saving a post causes WP to hang

[theamazingrando]

I recently upgraded to 2.6. Now, when I hit 'Save' after creating/editing a post, it gets saved, but wp hangs completely trying to load the page after that ("Changes saved, continue editing or go back"). I can't go to any other pages while wordpress is in this state, and have to restart my web server (lighttpd).

Specifically, its this request that hangs:

GET /blog/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=25&message=1&_wp_original_http_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theamazingrando.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php HTTP/1.1" 200 35651 "http://www.theamazingrando.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=25

I'm able to access other pages served by lightty, only wp-related pages won't load. This also worked fine before I upgraded from 2.5.

Additionally, I just upgraded to 2.6.1, and creating a new post seems to work, but saving changes to an existing post causes the issue. The changes get saved, but I have to restart lighttpd before I can view and wp pages again.

I have the same problem with 1 blog. Lighttpd 1.4.19, php 5.2.6 running as fastcgi, freebsd 7.0.

I think the problem is related with Javascript. If I disable Javascript then php doesn't hang.

I tried FCKEditor instead of TinyMCE and didn't fix the issue.

Could you look in the server logs to see exactly what's happening? Also perhaps try disabling some of the js to narrow it down.
