Hello, Running v1.0.5 on ubuntu and having an issue. When I make requests I am getting this in the error logs: sendfile() failed (9: Bad file descriptor) while sending response to client Googling turns up patches to the source. Not sure with this version if I need that and if I do, I would assume I would need to uninstall my debs and compile from source. THoughts? Thanks!
