Hi,
anyone have any experience w/ GNU malloc? I tried using it, but it
seems to have a 2GB limit.
OS: Debian 64, x84_64
Squid: 32bit, latest version
I originally have 32bit squid using regular system malloc; it was
compiled on a 32bit box, but is running on a 64bit machine. Memory
use is almost 4GB.
When I changed to 32bit squid w/ GNU malloc, during the cache dir
rescan, it gets stuck at 50%, w/ RSS at ~2GB.
So why did you switch? Perhaps that is not useful in answering your
question, but for the past 5 years or so, I have not seen a single
recommendation for using it. Knowing the root problem will make
suggesting a solution that much easier.

For what it's worth, you might find the thread starting at

interesting.
