grsec will often report that signals were sent, not that grsec
necessarily sent that signal itself. I don't think I've ever actually
seen it report itself sending a signal to a process. So varnishd could
be segfaulting for some reason and grsec is just reporting this. If
you're getting a core file, try loading it into gdb and using 'bt' on
it, to see where it's dying.

One other thing to try: As soon as it happens, try using 'dmesg' (or
"dmesg -s 131072" in case you have lots of things logging to the
kernel logs) and grep for PAX. It's not likely, but PAX could be
killing it due to some violation. And for whatever reason, the PAX
message doesn't show up in the logs, just in dmesg.
