That is great news, indeed. Regarding lighttpd there is at least one
problem we know of (see issue #987 [1]). In general it seems to work
fine, however. We do not stress test lighty regularly though but do
use tools like ``ab'' [2] occasionally (I am afraid a cannot remember
the parameters we used). So, as a starting point, it might be a good
idea to narrow down the workload which triggers the faulting behaviour.

In reply to your former E-Mail asking about debugging lighty, the
messages should already be printed to the serial console or rather to
the configured LOG service. You might need to configure it first to be
more verbose by editing its config file which is certainly described
in its documentation. There are also the usual DEBUG defines that can
be enabled at compile time (you would have to add them to
``repos/ports/src/app/lighttpd/target.inc''). IIRC lightly uses one
event loop to handle all events (bascially it will use select()).
Instrumenting this loop is probably the fastest way to determine if
lighty still “lives” even when it appears to be not reacting.

Josef
