[squid-users] "squid -k rotate" doesn't startup the configured amount of helpers

Hi

Squid 3.3.8, 64Bit Linux:

I have the following helper configured:
...
external_acl_type SQUID_KERB_LDAP ttl=7200 children-max=50
children-startup=20 children-idle=5 negative_ttl=7200 %LOGIN
/usr/local/squid/libexec/ext_kerberos_ldap_group_acl -g "XXX"
...

When I startup squid from scratch, then I got 20 (children-startup)
helper processes (as expected). When I rotate squid logs (squid -k
rotate) afterwards, then it startups just 5 helpers (independent of
any value in the external_acl_type-directive).

Look here:
$ /etc/init.d/squid start

Probably a bug?

Thank you.
Kind regards,
