The OP didn’t provide many details, but I am able to reproduce this too using
1.7-dev and the config files shown below. Git bisect shows the break at the
commit mentioned.
$> cat haproxy.cfg haproxy2.cfg
global
defaults
timeout client 5s
timeout server 5s
timeout connect 5s
mode http
listen www
bind :8000
listen www2
bind :8001
$> cat git-bisect-run.sh
#!/bin/bash -e
make clean
make TARGET=generic USE_OPENSSL=1 ADDLIB=-lcrypto
SSL_INC=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include SSL_LIB=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
USE_ZLIB=1 USE_PCRE=1 -j4
./haproxy -c -f ./haproxy.cfg -f ./haproxy2.cfg || exit 1
./haproxy -vv
