You may end up removing PRIVATE objects that are being fetched at the time of
the PURGE query. Private objects have a different store key, and Squid
responds with 404. Usually, private objects become public or are released
from the cache eventually.

An object that could not be purged could be in at lease three states:
        - private object being fetched
        - released but not yet unlinked objects (free FD cache)
        - lost objects if any (a bug)
