ever since last Saturday when I ran the mandrake Update, Squid got upgraded to 2.5.STABLE6 and it crashes every few hours, then I downgraded it to version 2.5.STABLE4 to see what happened but it continued to crash, just with a small difference on the error, 180 instead of 188, this never happened to me in 4 years using Squid. Here's the log entry: 2005/03/30 20:44:36| assertion failed: MemBuf.c:180: "mb->buf && mb->max_capacity && mb->capacity" 2005/03/30 20:44:39| Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE4 for i586-mandrake-linux-gnu... 2005/03/31 10:28:36| assertion failed: MemBuf.c:188: "mb->buf && mb->max_capacity && mb->capacity" 2005/03/31 10:28:39| Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE6 for i586-mandrake-linux-gnu... Any ideas? Thanks Jorge Frater B. Sistemas Fratec S.A. Tel. +506 275 0560 Fax. +506 275 3947
