I'm wondering if I'm the only one having this experience.

I created my own .deb of 0.9.1 and installed on my dev machines and on
Linode. Everything is working perfectly.

In both cases I'm running a fairly recent kernel >= 2.6.32.

Then I tried in machines running a 2.6.26 and there I had problems.
When trying to access a site, one of the worker processes grabs 100%
CPU utilization and the error file gets filed with:

accept() failed (38: Function not implemented)

It grows until exhausting the available disk space.

No pages are served whatsoever. I'm guessing that this is an issue
with a syscall that is missing in those kernel versions, but present
in the newer versions.

I reverted back to 0.8.53 in both machines.

Anyone else experienced this? Igor, Maxim or other nginx
insiders. Does 0.9.1 makes use of a Linux syscall available only in
recent kernels?

Thanks,

Description: small, but very powerful and efficient web server and mail proxy
Nginx (engine x) is a web server created by Igor Sysoev and kindly provided to
the open-source community. This server can be used as standalone HTTP server
and as a reverse proxy server before some Apache or another big server to
reduce load to backend servers by many concurrent HTTP-sessions.
.
It can also act as a POP3/IMAP mail proxy with SSL and TLS SNI support.
.
This is a custom version built with upload progress and without WebDAV, SSI, uwsgi and scgi support.
