[squid-users] Too many queued ntlmauthenticator requests (26 on 5)

Hello everyone, sometimes my squid process go to down and quickly to
up again.maybe less of 3 seconds.

in the logs ( /var/log/messages ) appear follow message:

Jun 27 07:23:11 jvelnxfw02 squid[25247]: Too many queued
ntlmauthenticator requests (26 on 5)
Jun 27 07:23:11 jvelnxfw02 squid[25245]: Squid Parent: child process
25247 exited due to signal 6
Jun 27 07:23:14 jvelnxfw02 squid[25245]: Squid Parent: child process
26127 started

I'm using the Active Directory to authentication. follow my squid
parameters about ntlm

auth_param ntlm program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp

auth_param basic children 20

auth_param basic realm Acesso a Internet Tigre SA

auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours

authenticate_cache_garbage_interval 10 seconds

authenticate_ttl 0 seconds

external_acl_type NT_global_group children=10 %LOGIN
/usr/lib64/squid/squid_unix_group

acl ntlm_users proxy_auth REQUIRED

cache_store_log none

request_entities on

why the squid sometimes go to down and itself go to up again ??

my squid version is 2.6.STABLE21 on Red Hat Enterprise 5.6

any tip is welcome.

thank!
