So, would you consider squid crashes with messages like this:

  client_side.c:419: failed assertion `entry->store_status != STORE_ABORTED'

just the result of lack of memory; Our system is a Sparc Solaris 2.6 with
Squid 2.1p2 and the recommended patches.

ps. the good thing is that at least squid restarts itself automatically :]
