CPU 100% on uWSGI master getting killed, server not taking requests

I am facing this problem where my uWSGI error logs show "UAAAAAAH my master disconnected: i will kill myself !!!".

This has happened twice in 2 weeks and surfaces only when we deploy code, which does a uwsgi –reload /tmp/X.pid. uWSGI is controlled by supervisor but this step just reloads uWSGI, no errors are shown on our Jenkins box but munin shows that CPU usage hits 100%, high disk IO and disk latency and requests to this box are timing out. I have to manually go in and restart uWSGI and that has fixed the issue on both occassions.

I would appreciate if someone can please share ideas in how to handle this issue.

uWSGI version: 2.0

supervisor: 3.0b1

Thanks
