That patch doesn't stop Zorp's HTTP proxy dying under load, still with a
sig 11.  The Plug proxy doesn't exhibit this behaviour.

I'm going to try downgrading to 2.0.9, which also claims to have fixed
this bug.

Failing that, I give up.  I should probably cut my time losses and write
a URL filtering patch for FK's HTTP proxy and use that instead.  This
has been a disappointing experience, but I only have myself to blame for
putting untested software into production.

Ciao,
