Found the issue - a use after free in send_response() if I close the session early due to an error. Was continuing to the next bit. Put a temp fix in place, will push a proper one later.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
What is it about HN that overwhelms small servers like this? It was a small static page so I wouldn't think it'd be that much load on the server itself, even for an OrangePi like this one. Too many simultaneous connections for his router maybe? Or too much bandwidth for his internet connection?
If they are behind a NAT/ stateful firewall there is just so much connections it will handle at once. I think OpenWRT has like 16K max by default, f.ex. So for less than 16K requests by different users/IPs… each is kept for about 1 minute I think… it quickly will go down, I guess. :) cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max Should give some details.
PS. You may be unaware that your shortened domain name 'benren' from your whois-available real name means "stupid person" in Mandarin. Only noted because there is a company registered with the same name since 1999. On the off chance it's yours, probably not the best marketing in a global world. Just throwing it out there.
You are lucky that all of your sample files have dots in their names. (-:

Which is fine, unless the first call returns NULL, because there was no period in the name, and then the program will crash.
Harsh? Maybe, but you’re posting this to a site with some of the most talented developers on planet. Real talk, sorry.
