Ok, thanks for info.  I tend to think that it's kernel problem 
with sendfile(2) and unix sockets.

Could you please test if a) not using sendfile (in location in 
question) resolves the problem and b) not using unix sockets 
resolves the problem?  Just to make things more clear.

I'll try to reproduce this issue here and dig further into it, but 
unfortunately I'm a bit busy now and it's unlikely to happen 
anytime soon.
