Sorry if I didn't make myself clear: The output from varnishstat didn't
indicate that threads was the issue causing 503s. It was more of a
tuning-comment than a shot at solving the real problem. Sorry about the
confusion.

Is it possible for you to mail me the raw cap-file? (Feel free to obfuscate
the IPs, but I'm really more of an ethereal-man than tcpdump-output...).
Feel free to drop it directly to me, if that makes it easier.

The request must've started earlier, as this is just the backend request.
Do you have the entire transaction available?

It should, but it should be noted that: 1. We don't know _why_ it fails. 2.
Restart in vcl_error is brand new, so there might still be some issues.

You could try to turn on vcl-trace. (-p vcl_trace=on).

Also, could you post your VCL in it's entirety? (If you already did, I
must've missed it.)
