Hi, does anyone have a definitive answer on this? I get the "collapsed request STALE!" message fairly regularly but haven't noted any problems. That said, I'm not sure I would get a complaint if there were a problem. If it's a harmless issue, I'll add it to our logcheck database -- and possibly submit a patch to logcheck to add it to their squid ignore patterns.
