dear all, I decided to try squid 2.5-stable9-20050402, and after cleaning all my cache files and rebuilding it again, fired-up squid -DF, I got this error msg after serving packets for about 10 seconds: 2005/04/03 05:22:21| assertion failed: stmem.c:93: "current_offset == target_offset" 2005/04/03 05:22:24| Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE9-20050402 for i386-freebsd5.0... previously i installed in this system with squid 2.5-stable7-latest and i configured the stable9 with same installation option as stable7. (./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid --enable-delay-pools --enable-snmp --enable-cache-digest \ --disable-ident-lookups --enable-removal-policies \ --enable-storeio=diskd,ufs,coss --disable-internal-dns --enable-dlmalloc --enable-carp --enable-htcp \ --enable-async-io --enable-underscores ) any clue ? Thank you. irfan-dp
