We're running varnish 2.0.4 on some moderately busy
servers, ~1200 req/s peak.

Today I was looking at the output of:

  varnishtop -i SessionClose

which is very interesting BTW, when I noticed
that a new value was suddenly added to the list,
that looked like this, more or less:

  7557.34 SessionClose   timeout
   901.28 SessionClose   no request
   753.54 SessionClose   remote closed
   317.48 SessionClose   error
    73.18 SessionClose   Connection: close
    60.32 SessionClose   overflow
    20.81 SessionClose   not HTTP/1.1
     0.05 SessionClose   blast         <--- HERE!

So, questions:

1) Does this distribution look "normal"?
   These servers have a sess_timeout of 2s, and they are serving
   a large (tens of millions) set of medium to large files.

2) What does "blast" mean for a SessionClose?
   Reading the source code for 2.0.4, it would seem to me that
   "blast" originates from overflowing sess_workspace.
   If this is correct, would a simple increase of sess_workspace prevent
   blasts?

   And yes, I'm assuming a blast is a bad thing. :)

Thanks,
