Also, what extensions are you using in your app?

(I'm somewhat more awake, now, haven't been sleeping much)

Two things look off in the line above:

1) recvfrom() isn't using the MSG_DONTWAIT flag.  I know you're using
   Linux, so kgio should be using MSG_DONTWAIT to do non-blocking
   recv...  Which versions of unicorn/kgio are you using?

2) TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT should prevent recvfrom() from hitting EAGAIN
   in the common case under Linux.

What triggered SIGINT?

Actually, after many lines of sched_yield() in your gist, I can see it
does actually exit the process.  Did you kill it with SIGINT?  If so, I
see nothing wrong...

Ruby 1.9 seems to sched_yield a lot during shutdown, but it does
eventually finish.
