 Hello.

 We are running Varnish 2.0.5 on OS X 10.5 Server.

 A few days ago both our varnishservers started to crash and respawn all
 the time not staying up longer than 1-2 seconds before respawning. And
 finally after about 3-5 hours the CrashReporter cant keep up or something
 else happens so a complete reboot of the server is needed. And in the
 computer crashlog we keep getting these messages:

 Any help would be appreciated at pointing out what might be causing this
 and helping us get on the right track with this issue.
