[squid-users] dlmalloc "new" release

Hi guys,
since using DL malloc seems to be one of the 1st way to optimize squid,
i am just curious to know
why the ./squid-2.4.STABLE1/lib/dlmalloc.c is based on DLmalloc 2.6.4

----------------------->8----------------------

any reason for that ??? are 2.6.5 , 2.6.6 not running as well with squid ??
if those were misbehaving, has someone given a try with the recent 2.7.0 ?
