[squid-users] log problem

I have calamaris running on a daily basis, parsing the log files.

I have recently seen a problem with logging, I think since I updated to
ver. 3.2.x.

I see some weird characters on the "method" field, for example yesterday
the calamaris log had 2 lines with "non readable" chars on the method
column:

Incoming requests by method:

method request % Byte % sec kB/sec
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GET 57420 95.16 5744092K 99.86 20 4.92
POST 2029 3.36 7202213 0.12 0 5.50
HEAD 646 1.07 228642 0.00 0 2.58
PUT 230 0.38 543536 0.01 14 0.16
NONE 12 0.02 50775 0.00 0 41320.80
â‚S…›S.D>Õf…yÁv¢ž% 1 0.00 3776 0.00 0 36875.00
ñµbc 1 0.00 3614 0.00 0 35292.97

I verified that these lines with weird chars where present in the squid
log file case by running the following command:

$ sudo cat access.log.0 | awk '{print $6}' | sort | uniq
��bc
GET
HEAD
NONE
POST
PUT
��S��S.D>�f�y�v��%

As can be seen there are 2 instances of "non-printing" characters on
field 6 of the log file. This means that squid in printing garbage on
field 6 (method).

Has anybody else seen this problem? Is this a (known and reported) bug?
