Hi Markus,
yes, you are right.
But why is squid using more and more memory until it dies because there
is no more memory available at the server.
When I run the same squid 3.2.1 with the same configuration but with
basic
authentication only the memory usage is constant and it is running
stable.
As soon as I add the negotiate_kerberos_helper I have to restart squid
after some hours because it is out of memory.
Running pmap shows the growing amount of memory (last line of my copy):
28076: (squid-1) -f /etc/squid/squid-C.conf
Address Kbytes Mode Offset Device Mapping
0000000000400000 4088 r-x-- 0000000000000000 0fd:00004 squid

000000000163f000 2403608 rw--- 0000000000000000 000:00000 [ anon ]
When I then run "cat /proc/28076/smaps" I see that the heap size of
squid is growing:
0163f000-94185000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0

What can cause this problem which only occures using kerberos
authentication?

Hi Klaus,
If I did not make an error it is the following line:
service_principal = xstrdup(optarg);
and it is not part of a loop and should not create a leak. It gets
freed
when the helper exits.
