Best thing to do - run it in gdb, eg: gdb squid <stuff> (gdb) handle all nostop noprint (gdb) handle SIGSEGV stop (gdb) handle SIGABRT stop (gdb) run -ND <starts squid> <squid will crash> (gdb) bt Then paste the backtrace into a Squid bugzilla report. The squid-3 developers can then see if there's anything obvious to fix. Adrian
