It is, but the connections timeout. I haven't traced that yet, but I
suspect the processes don't get any message from the outside, as they
don't have them in the inbox when dropping the crashdump.

The mailboxes increasing are lager_event (faster) and error_logger
(slower). Most processes have empty inboxes.

We use webmachine/mochiweb. I haven't traced that part yet as it seems
to be a more generic problem since other processes stop writing to
files too.
