> My squid box has 4GB memory, and I can see (with MRTG) that no more than
> 1,6 GB are occupied.
> Today I thought it would be nice to give some more place to cache_mem,
> so I have increased it from 100 to 400MB.
> A few hours later squid had died (and restarted, thanks squid) twice with
> the message "FATAL: xmalloc: Unable to allocate 65535 bytes!"
>
> According to the FAQ it could be a system size limit, but I can't see it:
> $ ulimit -aH
> core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited
> data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
> file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
> max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
> max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
> open files (-n) 1024
> pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
> stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited
> cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
> max user processes (-u) 7168
> virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
