Auth process sometimes stop responding after upgrade

[Simone Lazzaris]

Alas, I've set fs.suid_dumpable to 2 but the core is not dumped. So far I've checked:

- ulimit -c unlimited, done
- /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern is set to /var/tmp/core.%p
- /var/tmp is chmod 1777
- daemon is not chrooted 
- sysctl -w fs.suid_dumpable=2
- dir /var/tmp is empty and filesystem has 2GB free


This is the logfile:

I can confirm that I can trigger the issue having one of the backends flapping down/up.
