That's from cache.log and I only have one squid.conf in /etc/squid and
the only other squid.conf is the http configuration for cachemgr in
/etc/httpd/conf.d

So it's really odd. Not getting anything to stdin/stdout

But don't want to get too into the config piece when the big deal
seems to be the congestion. Why more congestion with faster disks and
almost no load. I'm willing to run tests, tweak, rebuild with various
settings whatever, just would like to figure this out
