Following an upgrade from nginx 1.0.2 to 1.0.11 I've experienced a
problem with worker processes that are not shutting down. When looking
in the list of running processes the worker processes appears to be
shutting down but never actually exits.
I've been using the ubuntu nginx ppa's for maverick.
As the worker processes doesn't shut down nginx ends up consuming to
much memory and is ultimately unable to spawn new worker processes.
Below is a list of processes showing the problem:
