Indeed,
sorry for the HTML attachment, I have no idea where it comes from. As
for the patch, here you are. This is really just a way to handle
SIGABRT in a specific way in the worker and allow proper termination
of the application. Note the FIXME comment I added in the
murder_lazy_workers method. If any worker blocks while all the others
are idle for a _timeout_ period of time, they will all be killed
anyway. The consequence of that is that Unicorn will restart all its
workers if traffic is very low on the server.
