lighttpd + fastcgi socket connection error

[Pat Maddox]

Also, I occasionally get a 500 Internal Server Error, with the
following in the logs:
2005-05-07 00:32:01: (mod_fastcgi.c.1921) unexpected end-of-file
(perhaps the fastcgi process died): pid: 6342 fcgi-fd: 8 remote-fd: 6
2005-05-07 00:32:01: (mod_fastcgi.c.2743) child exited, pid: 6342 status: 0 
2005-05-07 00:32:01: (mod_fastcgi.c.2782) response not sent, request
sent: 960 connection-fd: 6 fcgi-fd: 8
