Yes, it just started happening after I upgraded to 1.NOVM.16 and hasn't
happened yet in the last 36 hours since I upgraded to 1.NOVM.17.
I think it was a problem they found and fixed:
Changes to squid-1.1.17 (October 19, 1997):
- Fixed ftpget null pointer coredump for mime encodings.
- Fixed setuid() bug when creating swap directories. Now
change to 'effective_user' before making dirs.
- Fixed cachemgr.cgi to give 'unknown host' message if
gethostbyname() fails.
- Fixed extra disk read() bug for swapins. Now a disk
read calls back immediately if any data was read instead
of trying to fill the 8k buffer.
- Fixed asciiHandleConn(). The 'while (1)' loop broke things
badly under very high loads. Limit to 10 times through
the loop, or until RESERVED_FD limit is reached.
I'd suggest upgrading to .17 and see if the problem ceases.
