I have very carefully tracked the death of my squid process down to one very repeatable event. I have a Windows client running WinXP Pro and if I goto http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/ then goto the drop down box in the upper right that says "Account" and click on the option "Sign In or Register". boom .. kills the squid proxy over and over repeatedly I ran the squid process from the command line ( not daemon ) and debug level 5 to watch the process over and over : http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/stuff/squid_debugging_4.txt Any thoughts ? This is totally repeatable and the browser does not matter nor does the client that I use. That same links kills the squid proxy over and over. -- Dennis Clarke
