I would recommend the following, in no particular order:

- Try looking at various trivial things like open files/sockets 
  counters, nginx stub status output and so on.

- Try looking though debug log of a single request execution, and 
  making sure you understand what goes on, there are no unexpected 
  things and the request is properly finalized.

- Try producing a reduced test case which is as simple as possible 
  in contrast to your original code, but is enough to reproduce 
  the problem.
