But I think 'make check' bailed out or there was an error somewhere so I defaulted to poll for narrowing down the issue. > *-auto-locale you may want to keep.

Thank you for this tip. --disable-disk-io (for reference, --disable-diskio does not exist currently if not a typo) worked for 3.1.0.15 and removed ~ 100K. > Noting the way your options are tending toward minimal features you may > or my not want to not ESI is also on by default now in 3.1.0.15 ESI seems to be off by default on 3.1.0.15 in configure. And you are right, I don't need it. Thank you so much Amos. squid has worked reliably for years for me. I have one machine where it boots with the server and runs few years until a reboot! That is an old internal machine. squid is old too, but I never had it dying on me even though it is being used daily.
