Wow.  Where did you find one?  May be you mean wiki?

It is believed that it works as expected - sets SO_KEEPALIVE on 
client socket once we are about to open backend connection (which 
is usually resource consuming, as backends are used to follow 
process per connection model).  This allows to free backend 
connections early as long as clients silently disappear.

You may want to fix wiki instead (it seems to be down right now 
though).
