Hi, I have a FASTCGI server listening over UDS to HTTP request from  
NGINX.  
For some reason, the requests stopped reaching the FASTCGI server.

netstats -nap shows one socket connection in LISTENING state (as  
expected),  
one in CONNECTED state (not sure there should be such session hanging  
around), and many socket connections in CONNECTING state.

To remove all these UDS fcgi connections, I stopped nginx. The  
connections  
did not get removed.

Shouldn’t nginx clean up all these outstanding fastcgi connections when  
it  
is killed?  
Thank you.
