The problem was not that lighty gave a 500 error for transient unavailability.

It's that it got stuck in 500. I would have to log in every week or so and restart it when this happened.

In case you're wondering whatever happened to this bug, it's still happening! I installed the latest release of Lighttpd a few weeks ago and it happened on one of our sites. So amazing to see the same bug still kicking after 3-4 years..

I have this bug/feature as well, switched to nginx as a result.
