Just a note, no solution:

I have an installation of MapServer (a week old svn version) with
fastcgi and lighttpd. There are 6 processes available. The logging isn't
reliable, if I "tail -f" the log file, I don't see the messages in real
time. The idle timeout is set to 20.

I didn't try the restart of lighttpd.

I assume that this behavior depends on my lighttpd config (and not in
MapServer), but I did not put time in it to find the cause.

Not sure if this helps at all, I just wanted to say something ;)
