I think the issue is that the overlapping requests come in semi-random 
order/timing and you're only reaching the breakpoint if the right 
request connects to the IDE.  The IDE can only service one debug 
connection at a time so any requests that occur during another will not 
be debugged.

I suspect there's a way to serialize requests, either at the mod_wsgi 
level or perhaps even in the browser.  If so, that would be a work-around.
