Description (last modified by Maxim Dounin)

Hello,

I'm using nginx version 1.6.1 stable branch and I'm experiencing few hundred crashes/day. First I thought that the problem was caused by ngx_pagespeed, so, I stopped using that. Seems like the bug appeared after I began using ssl certificates, especially in low memory/stress conditions.

Description: modified (diff)
Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

From the backtrace it looks like duplicate of #235. Please try the workaround outlined there - i.e., configure the same ssl_session_cache for all SNI virtual hosts.
