Not spinning since then, but that's when that worker (from the old binary)
was spawned. It's an old worker spinning.

Unfortunately there isnt any debug symbols.

It is a reduced version (less additional modules) of Openresty so third
party module interference is possible. Would there be any thing in

My first step has been trying to work out how to replicate it on demand.
Just triggering binary reloads is not enough, something has to happen
between them and I'm not yet sure what.
