Hi, 

I saw that Pound has hung-up problem in Pound-1.7.
I downloaded and tried it today.

* hung-up problem (only Pound-1.7)

When the Pound upgraded to 1.7 from 1.6, did not call poll() 
exactly at listening both HTTP and HTTPS port. 
So Pound seems to be going on hung-up at receiving HTTP request.

If you write the following configuration at pound.cfg, an error occurs. 
e.g.
------------------------------------------
ListenHTTP  *,80
ListenHTTPS *,443  /etc/pound/server.pem
------------------------------------------

This is the bug of main() at "pound.c". 
Checking the value of "polls[n].revents" while working loop, 
but the variable of "n" is used temporarily. 
The variable of "n" might be destroyed at that time. 

* How to apply this patch?

For your information, this patch corrects calling poll(). 

Save the Pound-1.7-fix_poll.patch. 

# wget http://namazu.org/~takesako/pound/Pound-1.7-fix_poll.patch
# tar zxvf Pound-1.7.tgz
# cd Pound-1.7
# patch -p1 < ../Pound-1.7-fix_poll.patch

Thank you very much!

I have reported this error last week but was unable to find the solution.
The problem was that the hung-up connection bug only happened on Linux
with openssl-0.9.6. Linux with openssl-0.9.7 or FreeBSD with any openssl
version worked okay.
