Odd ... Ryan and I tried this at work on several machines and the second 
request blocked until the first was done.  _One_ of those machines was 
my Linux laptop.

I just tried this at home on my desktop and laptop, and the second 
request is no longer blocking.  Perhaps there is some subtle difference 
in the code I'm using now (posted by Ryan a few messages back in this 
thread) and the code I used yesterday at work.

Or I'm going crazy.

(Or both, but I'm not considering that possibility yet).
