----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 I'm running Varnish 2.0.6 on Linux and seeing random but regular
 "FetchError c http read error: 0" errors on my varnishlog with 503
 responded to the client.

 backend_http11 feature is turned on (by default), and so requests to the
 backend should be HTTP/1.1. However, it seems the Varnish does the
 requests with HTTP/1.0 header, backend closes the connection after
 response as keep-alive is not requested and after all this Varnish tries
 to re-use the connection and assumes the connection to be open (as it
 would be if HTTP version was 1.1)

 As a workaround, everything seems to work just fine with following
 configuration:

 sub vcl_recv {
     set req.proto = "HTTP/1.1";
