Squid 1.0.8 ftpget does not work and "log" corruption

        Hi All

        I'm using Squid 1.0.8 and ftpget seems not to work
properly. Simply put, it start to answer with connection refused
messages.

        I tried to change "positive_dns_ttl" as showed on this list.
The only thing which works is to restart squid again.

        Any help in this will be appreciated.

        On the other side, I whish to know what to do what to do
when the "log file" used by squid to reload information in
background corrupts. Since yesterday (when I installed 1.0.8) several
(more than 10) SEGV occurred while reading this "log" file. Then squid
restarts and SEGV again and restarts and ...

        Twice it "repaired" itself, just one time I simple copied a
partial log.new file over "log" and manually restarted squid and it
worked. This "log corruption" is happening since 1.0.5, but it is
at RAMDOM times. I'm waiting for it to happen again just to save a
full debugging log (the first time I tried it was when it self
repaired!!! Murphy again!!)

        Thanks in advance for all your help,
