cache backend using 10X the amount of space

[Flemming Frandsen]

Someone please set the Reply-to header to 
varnish-misc at projects.linpro.no for this list?

Alternatively I'd like a recommendation for a mailer that knows about 
mailing lists and can add the header for me.

At first, I set it to 20MB, then 200MB, and currently I am testing it
with 6GB.  With 20 and 200, the backend seems to rollover.  I haven't yet
filled all 6GB so I don't know if it will happen, but I assume it will.

Watching the varnishstat when this happens, all the numbers reset
to zero including cache hits, misses, etc...

I also noticed that when the stats reset and the cache invalidates
itself, a new child processes replaces the original child.

Note: I am using the precompiled rpms for RHEL4, which I assume are ok.
