Also, take a look at this discussion: http://groups.google.com/group/highload-php-en/browse_thread/thread/a3809a50eba71a45 I think that this is a nginx bug, it would be nice if some developer could look into this, I could provide error logs and such if needed, just let me know, thanks!

what are you seeing on the system side? whats your output of:
dstat
ulimit

also, how many connections are you allowing for your fast-cgi ?
