I have noticed this everytime the memory offload happens. This is not a crash 
or segfault; coz the service does not go down and it keeps in running which is 
also evident in the graphs shared earlier. I can see the same behaviour 
everytime when operating system swaps. Can you confirm if this is a ideal 
behaviour with varnish?

Hi.



Please consider adding line feeds to your future emails, everything on

one line is very hard to read.



Based on the attached graphs I'd expect this to be caused by Varnish

asserting/crashing, or that the operating system's out-of-memory

handling killed off the process.
