I agree this is the real issue.

This is just a red herring imho. We can stick this on any vhost patch :)

I'm afraid with this addition the code is too much like spagetty. What
does next_round mean?  Just that we are breaking out of loop?  That is
what goto is for...  Either let's have for(;;) with goto/break to get
outside or a while loop with a condition.  Both is just unreadable.

All these checks in 3 places are exactly the same on all paths and they
are slow path. Why don't we put this in a function? E.g. like the below.
Warning: completely untested.
