I am reassigning this report to LWP since it throws those errors and we
cannot see the reason. I don't think this is a fault in apt-cacher code,
because all it does is:
use LWP::User::Agent -> start a daemon -> accept a connection -> fork ->
-> create the LWP::User::Agent object in the child and use it.
The child processes should not have much in common, the bug most come
either from Perl itself or from some internal failure in the LWP modules
in the parent process, since all child processes forked from it after a
certain moment show the same symptoms.
Eduard.
