I bet this is an NFS problem too. It hangs there in chdir() dir. That's
the only possibility I can think of. What happens with the attached
patch? It should log a warning if chdir() takes more than 10 seconds,
and if it takes more than 30 seconds it fallbacks to /tmp.

These are normal. It just means the connection died unexpectedly.
verbose_ssl=yes logs all kinds of useless stuff.

Maybe related to the first problem. :)
