[SQU] squid 2.3.STABLE4 exited due to signal 25

Hello,
We're using squid 2.3 for are proxy software on Redhat
Linux 6.2 (Linux version 2.2.14-5.0). We had been using
squid 2.3.STABLE1 without problems. On 10/26/00 I
upgraded squid to 2.3.STABLE4 by installing in a different
directory & copied the ACLs and squid.conf from old copy.
I edited squid.conf to use port 4128 and to use /home/squid2
as the cache directory. I did chown squid.squid /home/squid2/
and also the bin, etc, log dirs for squid. It tested ok, so I
edited squid.conf to use 3128 and /home/squid for cache,
then stopped the old squid & started the new squid.

stable1 is installed at /usr/sbin/squid
stable4 is installed at /usr/local/squid
the /home partition has 2.6 GB free.
Luckily, I left stable1 on the system.

All was well until 11/14/00 when squid crashed. It happened
while I was browsing, so I was able to take care of it
quickly Currently, I'm back using squid 2.3.STABLE1 without
problems. Could I have missed a permision or setting? If
needed, I can make the cache.log file or whatever available
at a website.

looking at the cache.log file and message file, it's starting, gets
to 'Ready to serve requests', then dies and retries.

Sorry that this is so long.

In /var/log/messages, i get 5 retries, then it exits:
Nov 14 08:41:56 prox squid[32690]: Squid Parent: child process 32691 started

Nov 14 08:42:20 prox squid[32690]: Exiting due to repeated, frequent

the following shows up in the syslog:
Nov 14 08:42:20 prox squid[32690]: Exiting due to repeated, frequent
failures

on 11/15/00, I had the chance to mess with it abit, and tried
running it with squid -k debug. here's the last couple of
lines from the cache.log file:

I find it strange that it worked for a few weeks, then died.
If anyone has any ideas, thank you in advance.
