Hi, I run 3.2.7 squid successfully for some weeks now. Yesterday I tried to upgrade to squid 3.3.3 and after a few minutes squid exits and I get the following messages in my cache.log: --snip-- 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Starting Squid Cache version 3.3.3 for x86_64-suse-linux-gnu... 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Process ID 24248 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Process Roles: master worker 2013/04/09 08:44:40| With 16384 file descriptors available 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Initializing IP Cache... 2013/04/09 08:44:40| DNS Socket created at [::], FD 6 2013/04/09 08:44:40| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, FD 7 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Adding nameserver 127.0.0.1 from /etc/resolv.conf 2013/04/09 08:44:40| helperOpenServers: Starting 0/5 'basic_ldap_auth' processes 2013/04/09 08:44:40| helperOpenServers: No 'basic_ldap_auth' processes needed. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| helperOpenServers: Starting 10/20 'ext_session_acl' processes 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Logfile: opening log daemon:/var/log/squid/access.log 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Logfile Daemon: opening log /var/log/squid/access.log 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Logfile: opening log stdio:/var/log/squid/blockhosts-domains.log 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Logfile: opening log stdio:/var/log/squid/blockhosts-ip.log 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Store logging disabled 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Swap maxSize 33554432 + 2097152 KB, estimated 2742429 objects 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Target number of buckets: 137121 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Using 262144 Store buckets 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Max Mem size: 2097152 KB 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Max Swap size: 33554432 KB 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Using Least Load store dir selection 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Current Directory is /var/lib/supervise/squid 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Loaded Icons. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Sending SNMP messages from removedip:3401 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Adaptation support is on 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Loading cache_dir #0 from /var/cache/squid/rock 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Accepting HTTP Socket connections at local=127.0.0.1:8080 remote=[::] FD 34 flags=9 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Accepting HTTP Socket connections at local=removedip:8080 remote=[::] FD 35 flags=9 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Accepting SNMP messages on removedip:3401 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Configuring Parent removedip/8080/0 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Store rebuilding is 3.05% complete 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| WARNING: Ignoring malformed cache entry. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Finished rebuilding storage from disk. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| 32767 Entries scanned 2013/04/09 08:44:40| 3 Invalid entries. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| 3 With invalid flags. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| 32755 Objects loaded. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| 0 Objects expired. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| 0 Objects cancelled. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| 0 Duplicate URLs purged. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Took 0.12 seconds (276287.60 objects/sec). 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Beginning Validation Procedure 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Completed Validation Procedure 2013/04/09 08:44:40| Validated 0 Entries 2013/04/09 08:44:40| store_swap_size = 33541136.00 KB 2013/04/09 08:44:41| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects 2013/04/09 08:44:46| Starting new basicauthenticator helpers... 2013/04/09 08:44:46| helperOpenServers: Starting 1/5 'basic_ldap_auth' processes 2013/04/09 08:46:50| assertion failed: Checklist.cc:287: "!needsAsync && !matchFinished" 2013/04/09 08:46:52| Starting Squid Cache version 3.3.3 for x86_64-suse-linux-gnu... --snip-- what does assertion failed: Checklist.cc:287: "!needsAsync && !matchFinished" mean and how can I fix this ?
