I looked in the error log and found exactly what you suggested:
2011/08/09 08:50:15 [alert] 25485#0: cache loader process 25488 exited
on signal 9
2011/10/16 17:16:36 [alert] 25509#0: worker process 25510 exited on
signal 6
2012/01/16 12:48:13 [alert] 9183#0: worker process 9184 exited on signal
6
2012/01/16 14:19:24 [alert] 9183#0: worker process 11897 exited on
signal 6

Shouldn't it be treated as a bug? Do you know what thing could caused
sending signal 6 to worker process?

Yeah, I will probably do it in near future.
