Comment:

 I think I found the problem with this.  This line in the update-stats
 script:

 {{{
 cp ${statsdir}/meta.dat ${statsdir}/www
 }}}

 If the www directory doesn't already exist that line will copy the
 meta.dat to a file named www.  The script that runs right after that line
 is a python script that tries to open a file in that directory and it
 hangs if it's a file instead of a directory.  One easy hack is to add a
 slash on the end of the line so that it looks like this:

 {{{
 cp ${statsdir}/meta.dat ${statsdir}/www/
 }}}

 I went ahead and committed the fix in topic/seth/ticket-591

 I'm not sure if this completely addresses the problem or not though, but I
 think it's worthwhile closing this ticket and we'll reopen it or open a
 new one if the problem reappears (we may need to tell people to delete the
 www file if they've ended up with that).
