Squid 1.1.x redirector bug & fix

We've discovered a bug in the Squid 1.1.x redirector code that will cause
problems if you have redirectors that fall over occasionally (like ours
do). For each dead redirector you get you'll end up with a non (or long
time) replying connection to Squid.

To fix it, change redirector.c - replace line 266 with:

        if ((redirect->flags & REDIRECT_FLAG_ALIVE) &&
            !(redirect->flags & REDIRECT_FLAG_BUSY))

Squid currently checks that the redirector is not busy before using it -
this change checks if the redirector is alive and not busy.
