Originally, I was using the distributed RPM from RH, and the problem was
horrendous. One day I saw 45 restarts of squid.

Yesterday just before I sent this message, I downloaded source from
squid-cache.org, compiled and installed. The problem has been lessened
significantly since then, maybe 2 or 3 of those "auto-restarts" that
squid does. I don't know the details of why squid does that, but I
assume it is intended and benifical. Can someone explain that?

Anyway, just this morning, about 40 minutes ago, this happened in the
cache.log:

2005/09/02 07:51:56| WARNING: 100 swapin MD5 mismatches

and similarly in /var/log/messages:

.....

Obviously, this looks like the Bugzilla bug that Allen posted, but it is
the official squid code.
