RE: 2.3s3 memory leak?

I feel that squid 2.3s3 has a memory leak, two people using a new squid 4 a
week or ten days makes the process grow until it starts swapping to disk
only 48meg but for two users? on a system with 64meg.

When the process is restarted it is about 8 meg. I have tuned the
squid.conf to take account of all in the FAQ memory reduction section. Using
redhat 6.2 Kernel 2.2.14-12.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Simon

Linux might be putting a limit on the size of
a single process. BSD systems do that. So even
though you have 1GB of RAM, the Squid process
might not be able to get that big unless you
change some parameters.

How big does your process get before its killed?
