Re: Squid 1.0.15 core dump

...or, as I always say, -- if you are using (otherwise great)
   FreeBSD 2.1.x system, then just go steal sources of
   FreeBSD-2.2-current's malloc(), and recompile your libraries
   with it, this will sugnificantly improve the memory footprint
   of nearly everything. Or at least compile Squid with
   a 2.2-current's malloc().
