I wasn't clear about the condition I had: does the unexpected behaviour
happen on the same machine (not only same OS, but also same configuration,
same network layout, etc)? If so, it's most likely a bug. If the results see
are on different servers (even with the same OS) then a server difference is
the most likely cause.

We developers try our best to ensure that the quality is the best in all
parts of Squid; unfortunately we can't afford the effort to test each and
every feature on each OS and each network layout. We rely on the user
community to notice and pinpoint as much as possible those issues; this
cooperation is what makes Squid (and F/OSS software in general) viable and -
in fact - so good.

Thanks Kinkie

You suggest to report this behavior to bugtrack ?
