 Hi,

 I'd just like to add that we're seeing this a couple of times a day on our
 systems as well...

 {{{

 }}}

 Here are the daemon settings for us:
 {{{
 /usr/sbin/varnishd -P /var/run/varnishd.pid -a :80 -f
 /etc/varnish/default.vcl -T 127.0.0.1:6082 -t 120 -w 1,1500,120 -S
 /etc/varnish/secret -s file,/var/lib/varnish/abu/varnish_storage.bin,2G
 }}}

 We're running Varnish 2.1.0 on Ubuntu LTS 10.04 32-bit (older servers,
 hence small cache size).

 Just let me know if there's anything further you need from us

 Cheers,
 Chris.
