I'll send another ping > if that doesn't fix it. writev doesn't seem to have done the trick -- lighttpd went down and took all the other services (ssh, etc) with it, even after a reboot (??!). I'm going to go with the hunch from a thread I found[1] that it could potentially be due to kqueue and switch to writev+poll once the machine comes back up. And then I'm turning my phone off for the night, lmao. Then try to convince the actual sysadmin to switch to Nginx in the morning, because this is only helping to deepen my grudge against Lighttpd. Thanks again for the help guys; I'll post another message in the morning if writev+poll crashes too (in which case faulty hardware would enter my list of suspicions).
