Ok, so I butchered Snap by replacing all of snap-server's killThread
calls with putStrLn calls, and the putStrLn that is triggered by
Snap.Internal.Http.Server.SimpleBackend's runSession (line 163 in
snap-server 0.8.0.1) seems to be the culprit.  Is that a rate limiter,
or is that something else?  Anyhow, I think there's a bug in there
somewhere.  I'll be poking at it a bit more, but that seems to be the
top-level source of the errors.
