The message is 500 internal error - There was an unusual problem
serving with the requested url.

It seems to only log some of the time or only some of the information, but
it never logs any error 500's.

The problem that I have seems to some how be related to memory, or mmap().
At first I thought that it was the per process limit, but I raised the per
process limit in the kernel and this changed nothing. I also, thought
maybe it was a open file limit, but I changed that from 64 to 200, and it
changed nothing. I think that it is hitting so limit and that is what is
causing the problem, but without a good thttpd error log, I am really only
guessing at the problem.
