Hello,
SQUID is installed on my site since more than 5 years and was running correctly ; since less than a week, SQUID stops very frequently, and I have some messages:
* In the /var/log/messages file I have the following:
May 4 13:25:42 renesas2 squid[8722]: Squid Parent: child process 9634 exited due to signal 6 May 4 13:25:45 renesas2 squid[8722]: Squid Parent: child process 9716 started May 4 13:26:28 renesas2 squid[8722]: Squid Parent: child process 9716 exited due to signal 6 May 4 13:26:31 renesas2 squid[8722]: Squid Parent: child process 9855 started May 4 13:26:34 renesas2 squid[8722]: Squid Parent: child process 9855 exited due to signal 6 May 4 13:26:37 renesas2 squid[8722]: Squid Parent: child pro
When there are too many failures, SQUID parent stops.
* In the /var/squid/log/cahe.log I have also the following:
FATAL: Received Segment Violation...dying.
2010/05/04 13:30:42| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting...
2010/05/04 13:30:42| WARNING: Closing open FD 11
2010/05/04 13:30:42| Finished. Wrote 5206 entries.
The lines above the FATAL are generally more important, since the error
is logged then a the death shutdown begins. It also gives some info of
maybe some action leading up to the death which may be useful.
Can somebody explain me what is happening? And what can be the solution?
Best regards

Exact cause uncertain.
2.5 is as you say many years old now. It's likely some HTTP feature
becoming common among your users hitting hidden bug. Or maybe a security
flaw that has not been patched and now being hit by someone.
