cache manager process exited with fatal code 2 and cannot be respawned

[Isaac Hailperin]

So I also tried Version 1.2.1 form debian backports, which produced the 
same error.

I tried on opensuse 12.2, which worked fine:

nginx version: nginx/1.0.15

So could it be that this is an issue with the 1.2 Series?
