There is a know problem in SquidNT: sometimes the UDP communication between
squid.exe and pinger.exe fails to signal the shutdown to the helper and
pinger.exe don't exit.
The effect is that there are 2 pinger.exe running process and logfiles can
be locked from the orphaned process. Killing the orphan pinger.exe fix the
problem.

This should not happens during storeDirWriteCleanLogs.

If You don't need the icmp support, simply put in your squid.conf
the 'pinger_program none' option.

Guido
