Hi All,

The corruption doesn't always occur but when it does it looks
like a few contiguous bytes getting one or two bits flipped.
It is extremely unlikely that a few bits get flipped by
Squid, the netowrk layer or any other component except
non-ECC memory.
Does the server that runs Squid have ECC or non-ECC memory?

I'm pretty sure it's not a server hardware problem (It's EEC).
It's only affecting a very small proportion of users and there's
a clear split between those who see the problem most/all of
the time and those that never do. RAM errors aren't that
selective. RAM errors also tend to make a server unstable
which isn't the case.
I still think it's probably a Windows bug, but I can't explain
why when we find a client with the problem, it only shows
up when going via Squid and not if they pull the same content
directly from an origin server.
