Yes, it's known.  Without master process nginx isn't able to 
correctly perform reconfiguration and binary upgrade.  Moreover, 
it won't be able to respawn new workers once some of them die. ;)

This isn't really problem as work without master process isn't 
supported and only present to simplify development.
