This must be when using mod_wsgi. Is it configured pretty much like 
outlined in the Kallithea documentation?

socket-user seems to be a recent addition, and this is might thus not be

What mod_wsgi version and which OS and version are you using?

To help us review and assess how general this is: What led to this 
solution? Any external references?
