Re: DISKD newbie question

And lets also recall that the user had _not_ read the bugs page or
obviously done any investigation into this version of squid. His original
problem related to why --enable-heap-replacement did not work, which is
documented at:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.4/bugs/

Namely: "Heap-based replacement will not compile."

One would surely hope that a user or system administrator would look at the
bugs page before implementing any version of any software. Would _you_
ever use software which had bugs which were critical and could completely
disable the software under certain circumstances?
