I sent this message to the mailing list but I haven’t seen it show up  
anywhere. I apologize if somehow this becomes a duplicate.

Windows 7 64-bit  
NGINX 1.0.8 (32-bit)

I run nginx with 1 worker process. When I do nginx -s stop or nginx -s  
quit, I get a popup about an unhandled win32 exception in nginx.exe.  
If  
there is no debugger on the machine I do not see anything, but my  
development machine sees this _almost_ every time I try to stop nginx.

Has anyone else seen this or does anyone have guidance for what I can  
do  
to try to prevent this exception?

Thanks,

Ben
