Yes, thank you for report.  Quick and dirty fix would be:

--- a/src/os/unix/ngx_process_cycle.c
+++ b/src/os/unix/ngx_process_cycle.c
@@ -371,6 +371,8 @@ ngx_start_worker_processes(ngx_cycle_t *
 
         ngx_pass_open_channel(cycle, &ch);
     }
+
+    cpu_affinity = 0;
 }
 
 
With this patch workers respawn after crashes won't have cpu 
affinity set, which is probably better.  It's still not ideal, but 
after all real problem is a worker crash, respawn is just an 
emergency mechanism.
