To me this looks like a writev() interrupted by a SIGALRM.  I think
nginx guys read your original email the same way I did, which is "write
syscall *returned* ERESTARTSYS", but I'm pretty sure that is not the
case here.

ERESTARTSYS shows up in strace output but it is handled by the kernel,
userpace doesn't see it (but strace has to be able to see it, otherwise
you wouldn't know if your system call has been restarted or not).

You cut the output short - I asked for the entire output for a reason,
please paste it somewhere.

Thanks,
