I've got some 'uncaught exception' coredumping squids which are leaving no clues about their deaths. They are *meant* to be sending an SOS via: main.cc:1162: std::cerr << "dying from an unhandled exception: " << e.what() << std::endl; but std::cerr isn't the cache_log is it. It's STDERR, aka FD 2. COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME squid 22444 squid 2u VCHR 13,2 0t0 3398 /devices/pseudo/mm@0:null .. which according to lsof has been /dev/nulled, which is odd, as I had it redirected to a file when it was started. Should the fallback exception handler not be using another reporting channel? I also notice that the root parent squid which waits for the child eventually disappears, after restarting crashes, making the next crash fatal. Is that normal? Does it react badly if it catches a HUP sent by a 'pkill -HUP squid' ? DW
