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. -T -- TerraNovaNet Internet Services - Key Largo, FL Voice: (305)453-4011 Fax: (305)451-5991 http://www.TerraNova.net ---------------------------------------------- "Acceptance without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western religion, Rejection without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western science." -- Gary Zukav, "The Dancing Wu Li Masters"
