I've had nothing but problems with that approach. From what I 
understand, there's a couple of bug in the spawn-fcgi binary, one with 
memory leaks and another with race-conditions occuring when the PHP 
child hits its upper limit of 250 requests at which point it is forced 
to restart; it still accepts requests even though its restarting and 
fails to complete. All we were seeing was regular 500 errors from lighty 
and semi-regular ones from nginx. Starting PHP with the -b switch fixed 
all those problems.
