Looks like valid problem and correct patch for me.  In vanilla 
nginx this currently affects at least memcached module.  If 
memcached_buffer set to low value, it causes

[error] ... upstream prematurely closed connection while reading 
response header from upstream ...

to be logged instead of correct

[error] ... upstream sent too big header while reading response 
header from upstream ...

Could you please provide English transcription of your name you 
would like to see in CHANGES?  Is "Li Feibo" looks ok?
