Panic message: Missing errorhandling code in parse_esi_tag(), cache_esi.c line 634

[tom at neovatar.org]

Hello,

sorry, I did send the first mail without a subject, because I have to
use the stupid webmail gui from work.

I hope this is the right list to ask about varnish behaviour which might
be a bug.

We are getting the following (at the bottom of the mail) error on an ESI
include, but I have no idea if this can be triggered by wrong
configuration. The initial request goes to a local tomcat, the response
html has the following ESI include:

<esi:include
src="/external/newsticker/snippet/template/snippet_neue_rechte_leiste/limit/6">

The error does not happen everytime, but from time to time. I have not
found a way to reproduce it for sure.

I would be thankfull, if somebody could point me into a direction how to
solve this.

Cheers,
Tom
