Hello, I update this afternoon the proxy (from version 2.5 to version 2.7 STABLE9) as mentioned in the message of Amos Jeffries; I got the version and installed it in less than 10 minutes : I had only 2 problems in the squid.conf file (an option disappeared, and I need to identify the user running squid): the problem is now solved.

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?

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. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.3
