Checkout AJAX error: No response received - related to APC cache

[mattf10]

After upgrading to 1.9.2.2, onepage checkout is broken.  You can't advanced past the billing page.  There is a prototype.js 500 error "No response received" in the javascript console.

If I clear the APC cache, the problem goes away.  However, if I reload the page after it's cached, I get the error above.  For now, I have disabled APC cache on the site and the page works.  I added some debug output to the controller, and the "saveBillingAction" method is not called when the page is cached.

Any help or ideas? 

Thanks

We are experiencing the exact same issue. It's extremely unfortunate. We've had to keep APC disabled. 

Our current strategy has been to combat APC being disabled with additional web servers, however, it's not economical long term. 

We are looking into additional PHP Caching. 

To the Magento team, this is a serious concern and your team needs to investigate it.
