+ <para>When using the <code>kqueue</code> acceptor, if a client

+ acceptor code to receive the <code>EOF</code> event and recycle
+ the session while the last request was still being serviced,
+ resulting in a assertion failure and a crash when the worker

+ partially fixed, but may still occur for error pages generated
+ by Varnish when a problem arises while retrieving an object from
