[mod_python] Req object shared?

Hello Graham,

Thanks for your reply.  After doing some more testing, my colleague was 
able to recreate this problem only using Internet Explorer.  Pretty 
much, on the form if we click the form post button real fast multiple 
times, IE somehow posts multiple values for the dropdown lists to the 
servers.  I was able to verify this by testing in IE and Mozilla and 
this only seems to happen in IE.  I also used an IE plugin named 
HTTPWatch which provides client side POST data for every request the 
browser sends.

This does not seem to be an issue with the applicaiton running in CGI, 
however, when running in mod_python, because the request is processed so 
fast, I am guessing this becomes an issue.

Thanks for all your help.
