Hi, I'm still having the problem described below. If there's no further help forthcoming, or if this issue is just one of those things that defies explanation, I'll just go ahead and perform a restore of the whole installation from a recent backup. I'd rather not, but if I'm getting no help it's all I have left. Thank you. S.

I performed a "ls -la" on ../squid, and I don't see any evidence of a swap.state.clean or .tmp - all I have are the cache folders, my logs folder and swap.state. Where could this be, as it seems to be where the problem lies?
