lighttpd had a memory leak that was around unfixed for a very long time. Googling couldn't tell me whether it was now fixed or not, but there are many references to it (take a look!). It did strike me as a problem that an essential bug like that wasn't looked at quickly, even if it was a little difficult to pin down. Perhaps this is a bit unfair, but this is what led me to move over to nginx from lighttpd.
