I have just uploaded a new -current, which should fix the problems observed in 
the past, namely sending fragmets to the wrong destinations. I would greatly 
appreciate if you could test it thoroughly, especially the behaviour with 
HTTPS (in the past some delays were observed with certain clients; the bug 
was a result of the attempted quick fix).

Many thanks to Alexander Meis for his support and perseverance in tracking 
this down.

Unless some other nasty surprises crop up this will be 1.8, which is by now 
long overdue.[...]

Will this also solve the e500's and blank pages?

still getting e500's, and actually getting them more often than before.
Checking for garbled content have so far returned nothing.

Hi John,

what kind of backend do you use?
How many Req/s is it possible that the problem is the backend not the pound?

This was tested with 2 idle backends and 2 clients doing no more than a few
requests. (intranet setup, pound host set as proxy in
FireFox' connection settings)

Garbled content tested by running ab as one of the clients doing about 30
requests/second, and one ordinary client. I was unable to
get garbled content, however, this only happened rarely anyways.

I have tested the same backends with squid as the reverse proxy, and it does
not happen with squid.
Also tried standard round robin, and I don't get e500 or blank pages with that
setup either, so no, I don't believe this to be
backend related at all.

Kind Regards,

John Hansen
