Description:
------------
Running php-fpm on several dedicated servers, very busy site, with approx 3mm 
daily page views.  Currently running in pm=static mode with max children set to 
100.  Each system has at least 4GB.  Error notice is set to debug.  

In reviewing the php-fpm error log, several times a day, we'll see this kind of 
error:

Oct 08 12:35:35.574208 [ERROR] pid 1549, 
fpm_pctl_perform_idle_server_maintenance(), line 347: [pool www] unable to 
retrieve process activity of one or more child(ren). Will try again later.

I posted this via the newsgroup and someone suggested I open a bug report, so here 
it is.

Can you:
- post your full php-fpm.conf
- post the configure options you used to compile PHP.
- post your PHP version

Thx

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

  http://windows.php.net/snapshots/

It should be fixed (revision 305273 and 305264).

Can you please test it ?

Thx

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
