Hi,

I've attached two Munin screenshots that show a strange issue I've been
having with nginx. I'm running the 1.3.4 version with the SPDY patch
(latest, 51) and it really looks like nginx sometimes forgets to close
connections.

I've been running the SPDY patch since version 38, which is just under 2
months ago. The attached screenshots really show the issue well.

A few things:
* Before the SPDY patch, the connection count would go to nearly 0 in
the night.
* After the patch, even at night the connection count would stick to
20 or 30. This is not entirely unexpected as the SPDY protocol suggests
not letting the connection time out unless necessary.
* I've always used the exact same build arguments (see below) and I
haven't changed the configuration recently.
* Before patch 50/51 the connection count would hardly ever go above 100.
* After patch 50/51 the connection count managed to go over 300 and
never below 80.
* Note in the month screenshot how between week 29 and week 30 there
was a pretty low connection count. This is because that week I restarted
the server. It seems to take a while for nginx to start making mistakes.
* The drop in connections tonight was because I restarted nginx.
* The server only serves 1 SPDY/SSL site which has approximately 40 or
50 unique visitors a day. All other sites are HTTP-only and hardly
popular. There's no reason for the server to have 300 active connections.

I'm hoping that someone else can reproduce this issue as well.
