Question:
Orion Context Broker works half of the times

Description:
I've installed Orion Context Broker 0.23.0 and it behaves rare: it only works half of the times. For instance, when trying to retrieve the version I get this error message:

$ curl "http://localhost:1026/version"
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
$ curl "http://localhost:1026/version"
<orion>
<version>0.23.0</version>
<uptime>15 d, 22 h, 13 m, 18 s</uptime>
<git_hash>f5d76a6f11736d52402e63a4aa0ba990bff7f5eb</git_hash>
<compile_time>Fri Jul 10 13:21:42 CEST 2015</compile_time>
<compiled_by>fermin</compiled_by>
<compiled_in>centollo</compiled_in>
</orion>
$ curl "http://localhost:1026/version"
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
$ curl "http://localhost:1026/version"
<orion>
<version>0.23.0</version>
<uptime>15 d, 22 h, 13 m, 53 s</uptime>
<git_hash>f5d76a6f11736d52402e63a4aa0ba990bff7f5eb</git_hash>
<compile_time>Fri Jul 10 13:21:42 CEST 2015</compile_time>
<compiled_by>fermin</compiled_by>
<compiled_in>centollo</compiled_in>
</orion>

This behaviour is deterministic, I mean, after failing it always works, and after working it always fails. This occurs with all the operations within the REST API.

I've checked the listening ports and the process running them matches the Orion's one:

$ sudo netstat -ntlp | grep 1026
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1026 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9944/contextBroker
tcp 0 0 :::1026 :::* LISTEN 9944/contextBroker

$ ps ax | grep contextBroker | grep -v grep
9944 ? Ssl 0:13 /usr/bin/contextBroker -port 1026 -logDir /var/log/contextBroker -pidpath /var/run/contextBroker/contextBroker.pid -dbhost localhost -db orion -multiservice

Any hints? Thanks!
