Still exists in 1.7.12, 1.8 and 1.9
We’ve isolated this between SPDY and (file)caching such as fastcgi_cache
and
proxy_cache, where exactly is not yet known, should you have this issue
either disable file caching or spdy.
You often need to run debug logging for days to get anything useful,
should
you have a worker with a de-attached port state then attempt to
core-dump
this worker.
This issue is OS independent.
