CARP

There is not very much information about CARP. Does anyone know
where to find some?

Currently, Squid dies with an assert() failure if CARP support
is compiled in but one tries to configure a sibling. Is this
the expected behaviour? Would the attached patch be more
appropriate (especially as there seems to be not much information
about CARP)?
