Joseph,

Are both versions of the app using the same data? If 'select.select' is an operation that involves querying a database, it's possible that your "custom" web app is timing out before the response is complete. This might lead to retries as your describing, until you basically "get lucky" and make it across the finish line in time.

(I see this a lot in PHP websites, since its default timeout on web requests is very short.)
