The debug log suggests this is not true.

Yes, and the patch provided links to the very same thread and 
resolves the problem in nginx, i.e., CPU hog.  With the patch an 
alert will be correctly logged.

Note well that the root cause of CPU hog observed are non-atomic 
file updates.  You will still see other problems till this is 
resolved (including data corruption), even with the patch.
