Child said getnameinfo = -11 System error

[Hugues Alary]

Hi Jason,

Those errors are unfortunately logged in my system log, not varnishlog, so
I can't really link them to a specific request.

However, I used not to have those errors, and I just discovered that they
recently appeared along with some other errors in my varnishlogs this time:

-   Error          out of workspace
-   LostHeader     X-Forwarded-For:
-   ReqUnset       X-Forwarded-For: 80.68.74.90
-   ReqUnset       X-Forwarded-For: 162.158.92.219
-   Error          out of workspace

It seems that varnish is running out of workspace. Some googling tells me
it could be related to ESI includes. It so happen that I did change
something recently with ESI includes, and, I happen to have pages loading
something like 100 ESI includes (maybe even more).

I read that someone else using 4.0.3 was running out of workspace, despite
setting a value up to 16mb. Maybe I should tune my workspace, but the bug
report stated that raising the value to 16mb ended up eating up all the
memory of the system and thus wasn't really an option.

Any other ideas of things I should do?

-Hugues
