Hi,
I have a problem with a module I'm writing. I need to do something in the main config after variables are read from the conf file, so I have put this in the post_conf function. Then I need do something when to it when the process is closed via
./nginx -s reload
this is in the exit_process function. What I would expect is that for each reload there is one new main conf, this is not the case ( see output below ). Two new main configs are created, then only one of them is 'seen' by the exit_process.

create main conf mainconf=0x9908e8
post conf mainconf=0x9908e8
--- reload happens
create main conf mainconf=0xe508e8
post conf mainconf=0xe508e8
create main conf mainconf=0x993ef8
post conf mainconf=0x993ef8
exit mainconf=0x9908e8

So on reload, two new main configs are created, and the previous one is closed. This wouldn't be a problem, but every subsequent reload the same thing happens ( two are created, but only one of the previous two exited).

Anyone have any idea why this might happen?

Thanks.
