AW: AW: AW: [squid-users] logfileWrite: c:/squid/log/store.log: (13 ) Permission denied after storeDirWriteCleanLogs (Squid 2.5 on Windows 2000)

It happened again.....

But first a little summary of what I did to prevent (what happened again)

o I disabled the pinger.exe helper because I don't need it
o I installed a test binary which should fix these problems
  1 - Windows handles are inherited from child helpers, this is wrong
  2 - UDP based helpers don't detects properly Squid shutdown and not
      terminate itself.
o I changed the fs from ufs to awin32

Well....yesterday evening it happened again:

Squid started the storeDirWriteCleanLogs function and got a problem after that:

FATAL: logfileWrite: c:/squid/log/store.log: (13) Permission denied

Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE3-NT-CVS): Terminated abnormally.

Well - I saved the FD information a couple of hours before it happened:

Well...if Squid is supposed to close the store.log right after it starts the
storeDirWriteCleanLogs function then it obviously got confused with the file descriptors.

What can I do to fix this problem? So far I only found some kind of workaround:

I rotate the logfiles more often because everytime I rotate the logfiles squid starts the
storeDirWriteCleanlogs function but when I rotate the logfiles this function works and I
don´t get any permission denied errors. The error only occurs when squid starts this function
without rotating the logfiles.

thanks for your help,
