There are still occasional errors about clients requesting nonexistant files 
(normal).
Unknown if the client receives a response in those cases..
Haven't thought to test this yet, but the next time it happens I will.
I currently don't know what triggers the bug, but it usually happens after the 
server has been up for a few days without interruption.
This has happened at least 3 times on one server that has 807 virtualhosts,
and about the same number of times on a server that has 207 virtualhosts (and 
increasing).

I upgraded from 1.2b11 and never saw this happen with that version.

Top part of server status I grabbed from a server that was returning empty 
responses:

I will see if I find anything while looking through source code... 
But no idea at the moment
