Good. Can you try to reproduce with 2.2.19pre3? (if you absolutely need raid
0.90 you can try again with 2.2.19pre3aa3 after backing out 04_wake-one-3 that
introduces a deadlocks spotted by Chris and that I'm debugging right now)

	if ( num_ready < 0 )

	    if ( errno == EINTR )

	    syslog( LOG_ERR, "fdwatch - %m" );

for some unknown reason it doesn't notice it has to handle the new connection.

    shut_down();
    syslog( LOG_NOTICE, "exiting" );

However according to the latest sources (2.20b) shut_down() should at least
call gettimeofday at once and that's not the case for you:

shut_down( void )
    {
    int cnum;
    struct timeval tv;

#ifdef STATS_TIME
    show_stats( JunkClientData, (struct timeval*) 0 );
#endif /* STATS_TIME */
    (void) gettimeofday( &tv, (struct timezone*) 0 );

So you aren't using thttpd version 2.20b (or it's not the vanilla source).

Well, this would look like an userspace bug, but I understand it's strange that
it works well for three days.... Can you try to upgrade thttpd to the latest
version compiled from vanilla sources?

But regardless of the userspace upgrade, I still recommend to upgrade to
2.2.19pre3 or 2.2.19pre3aa3 minus 04_wake-one-3 (once I'll fix wake-one-3 I'll
release -4 revision and pre3aa4).

Thanks,
Andrea
