Hi, my current project is being bitten by the cluster module's reliance on 
the OS kernel to do balancing between nodejs processes. Out of 8 processes, 
2 get > 70% combined requests/workload. This causes our servers to 
eventually stop responding, requiring a restart.

I have tried to patch 0.10.13 with the following 
patch: 
https://github.com/joyent/node/commit/e72cd415adf2ca12daddc001cc3fe953cdb4b507 
and I get a 'Bad debug option.' error when calling cluster.fork(). I have 
also tried using 0.11.4, but of course a NPM module that I need to use is 
not compatible. Removing the incompatible module allowed me to test and see 
that the patch does indeed provide equal load balancing between processes.

I understand cluster is experimental. I've found a few other messages on 
this list mentioning my same problem, which is why I'm asking if it's 
possible for the patch to be backported to 0.10.x or a sooner release. 

I'm happy to provide more information if needed or accept advice on how to 
fix my 'bad debug option.' error. Thanks in advance for your help!

-Ryan
