Hi List,

From time to time my users experience constant unsatisfiable prompts from squid. Cache.log reports:

2011/01/07 12:04:53| authenticateNegotiateHandleReply: Error validating user via Negotiate. Error returned 'BH gss_acquire_cred() failed: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information. Cannot allocate memory'
2011/01/07 12:04:53| authenticateNegotiateHandleReply: Error validating user via Negotiate. Error returned 'BH gss_acquire_cred() failed: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information. Cannot allocate memory'

Quickest fix is to 'service squid restart' but I'd like to get to the bottom of it as how/why this occurs. Squidkerbauth helper can't allocate memory, freezes and refuses to process requests. Has anyone else come across this sort of thing before? Memory leak..? Any suggestions for further debugging welcome.

RHEL5.3 x86, Squid 3.20STABLE, squidkerbauth 1.0.7 (IIRC)

Happy to provide further information,
Thanks,
