Also seeing this:

Oct 24 14:43:35 192.168.5.101 perlbal: crash log: Can't locate object 
method "backend" via package "Perlbal::ClientHTTPBase" at 
/usr/share/perl5/Perlbal/BackendHTTP.pm line 139.

I ran out of time to troubleshoot this today and will be rolling back to 
1.41... The issue is that when the above two routines are getting called 
the $client is a ClientHTTPBase instead of ClientProxy. I can't, as 
usual, reproduce the damn problem.

From reading the code, it doesn't seem likely that the 
$backend->{client} can get assigned to a ClientHTTPBase object instead 
of a properly assigned client? So it must be swapping it back inbetween 
a backend getting assigned and the response coming back? Sorry if that's 
completely wrong, it's the best I can figure in so little time. The new 
version of perlbal is unusable because of this.
