Express.js not responding when using session

Here is my app:

var express = require('express'),
    app = express.createServer(),
    RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(express);

app.configure (function(){
    app.use (express.logger({ format: ":method :url" }));
    app.use (express.bodyParser());
    app.use (express.cookieParser());
    app.use (express.session({ store: new RedisStore, secret: "totally random string" }));
});
app.configure ('development', function () {
    console.log ("Development mode.");
});
app.configure ('production', function () {
    console.log ("Production mode.");
});

app.get ('/', function (req, res) {
    res.contentType("text/html");
    res.send("hello", 200);
    res.end();
})

console.log ("Listening to *:"+8006);
app.listen (8006);

It hangs in the browser when I use localhost:8006/

Any idea whats wrong? I am probably missing 1 little detail.
It works when the app.use (express.session... line is commented out

Thanks

Remove the res.end() and it stops the hanging and renders the page.

var express = require('express'),
    app = express.createServer();

app.configure (function(){
    app.use (express.logger({ format: ":method :url" }));
    app.use (express.bodyParser());
    app.use (express.cookieParser());
});

app.configure ('development', function () {
    console.log ("Development mode.");
});
app.configure ('production', function () {
    console.log ("Production mode.");
});

app.get ('/', function (req, res) {
    res.contentType("text/html");
    res.send("hello");
})

console.log ("Listening to *:"+8006);
app.listen (8006);
